A homeless prowler took a leap of faith while trying to flee cops in Bushwick, and landed in the hospital, police said.

A real-estate agent was showing a vacant home on Willoughby Avenue near Wilson Avenue at 11 a.m. Wednesday when she heard footsteps on the roof and called police.

Responding cops said they spotted Alex Ragus moments before he tried to jump onto an adjacent church building.

He plummeted about 20 feet, landing on the church roof and injuring his leg, sources said. Ragus, 45, was charged with burglary and taken to a hospital.

A California hooker escaped from a crazed client who brutally attacked her in a Times Square-area hotel, police sources said.

The 37-year-old prostitute from San Pablo met the unidentified john in a room at the Candlewood Suites late Monday afternoon, after he contacted her through an ad on Backpage.com.

After asking the woman how much she charged, the madman pulled a hammer from his jacket and began bashing her over the head.

When the hooker tried to fight back, the thug brandished a knife and snarled, “Now I’m going to kill you,” sources said.

He then slashed her left biceps.

The terrified woman tried to flee, but it was the man who dashed out and left a bloody trail in the stairwell.

He remains on the lam.

The victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.
