Assault susp begged to be tased: cops

An emotionally disturbed woman assaulted a Brooklyn deli clerk, then all but demanded police tase her before she was finally arrested, authorities said Monday.

Officers tried to tase her four times, cell phone videos showed — but the woman appeared uninjured and walked away before cops nabbed her.

The bizarre confrontation unfolded at 5:50 a.m. on Friday when Natasha Coates, 33, stepped into a Broadway deli in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Deli worker Mo Ali, 18, recounted that Coates asked for money from the clerk on duty, and then allegedly kicked, punched and busted the store’s surveillance TV when she didn’t get it.

“She asked him to open the ATM for her,” Ali said, referring to his colleague. “But he wouldn’t do it so she broke the TV. Then, she took the mop to clean the floor and she threw it in his face. And he locked the door and he called the police.”

By that time, Coates was outside.

When police showed up, Coates had allegedly broken off a windshield wiper from their vehicle and told two officers to stun her with their Tasers, authorities alleged.

“Tase me,” Coates can be heard saying on the video.

“I don’t want to tase” you, one officer said, urging Coates, who was stepping toward the cop with something in her hands, to “back up.”

It wasn’t clear if the item was the windshield wiper or a stick, but Coates refused a police order to drop it.

Coates scooted across Broadway, and police followed, trying four times to shock her. She was taken to Woodhull Medical Center for psychiatric observation, then was charged with attempted robbery, menacing and assault. She was released without bail.
