A motorist who ended up driving into a Pennsylvania river is blaming his GPS.

The man told police his global positioning system had him make a wrong turn onto a Hugh Moore Park bicycle path at 10:30 p.m. Saturday. When the path narrowed, the man’s car rolled sideways into the Lehigh River in Easton, Pa., said cops who issued him several traffic citations.

A knife-wielding punk tried to rob a Southern California pizza place — just hours after burglars broke in and stole $1,500 from the same place, authorities said.

Luckily, a Covina cop, nearby because of the burglary, thwarted Ramirez who was charged with armed robbery and resisting arrest, police said.

California cops, in an hours-long standoff with an agitated suspect jumping roof to roof in a residential neighborhood, got an unexpected assist — from an impatient grandpa.

“The grandpa did what we couldn’t,” said police Capt. Tim Murakami.

“The numbers — they all mean something to me,” Roy said. “They’re all family birthday numbers. I’m just ecstatic.”
