Guy Dressed As Cookie Monster In Times Square Arrested For Assault

Times Square Cookie Monster a ‘beast’

C is for cookie — and for criminal charges.

A man dressed as Cookie Monster in Times Square was arrested yesterday for pushing a 2-year-old to the ground when the little boy’s mom failed to tip after a picture, cops said.

Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, 33, was dressed as the “Sesame Street” character when he got into an argument with the Connecticut family at around 2 p.m., cops said.

The Mexican native demanded a tip from the toddler’s mom after posing for a snapshot. When she balked, he cursed her and pushed the child to the ground, cops said.
