TIMES SQUARE — The Tin Man might be following the yellow brick road all the way to jail.

A man dressed as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz allegedly stabbed a tour bus worker with a screwdriver Thursday, the Daily News reported.

Police arrested Gerald Brown, 50, of Harlem, after he allegedly stabbed a CitySights Tour Bus driver following an argument, the News reported.

Police found the bloody screwdriver tucked into his silver pants, the News said.

Witnesses told the paper that Brown has a history of picking fights with other performers in Times Square.

"The Tin Man was arguing with Spider Man last night," Luis Valentin, 21, said to the News.

"He said, 'You a-hole, this corner is mine'," Valentin told the paper.
