A man stole a Bentley in the East Village Thursday before plowing the luxury car into a curb across town, police said.

The thief grabbed the car from its parking spot on Avenue C and East 14th Street around 4:40 p.m.

The driver fled to the other side of Manhattan, where they plowed into another car at the intersection of Perry Street and Washington Avenue in the West Village.

After a few blocks, the driver lost control of the car and crashed into a curb.
