THE TROUBLED son of Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett was back behind bars Wednesday for allegedly robbing a Los Angeles convenienc­e store armed with a knife.

Police say Redmond O’Neal robbed the store not far from the Venice Beach Boardwalk around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and fled on foot.

“He approached the clerk and demanded money from the register. The clerk, afraid for his safety, gave O’Neal cash from the till,” LAPD Detective Meghan Aguilar told the Daily News.

Officers responding to the scene tracked down the Hollywood heir in the area and made the arrest.

“Officers found the knife and cash in O’Neal’s possession,” Aguilar said.

O’Neal, 33, was booked on a felony robbery charge late Tuesday and was being held on $50,000 bail as of Wednesday afternoon.
