MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — An ex-firefighter arrested while professing his love for the Madonna outside her Central Park West apartment was ordered to stay at least 10 blocks away from her building, a judge decided Friday.
The "Material Girl" superfan, 59-year-old Robert Linhart, was arrested twice in three days in late September after publicly displaying his affection for the world-famous pop star and Upper West Sider.
He was ordered held without bail last week on a another judge's order while awaiting a psychiatric exam. Linhart has been behind bars since Sept. 21 following the second of the two arrests.
After a hearing late Friday afternoon, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Laura Ward set bail at $20,000 on the condition he stay "10 city blocks" away from Central Park West and West 64th Street, the famed singer's block.
Linhart promised to comply with the condition, even though he previously pledged to return to the scene of the alleged crime upon his release.
"I won’t stop until I actually meet Madonna," he allegedly told police after his second arrest last month.
"If I get arraigned tonight and get out tomorrow, I’m going to go back there and do it again," he added.
Linhart displayed signs with messages "directed toward Madonna" and "became disorderly and began screaming" at police when they confronted him, prosecutors said.
When cops searched his car, which was parked on Madonna's block, they said they found an ice pick, a baton and a knife.
He was arraigned on weapons possession and resisting arrest charges, but not indicted on several counts of misdemeanor graffiti offenses that were part of the original charges.
His lawyer, Justine Luongo, said Linhart been deemed fit to stand trial after his psychiatric evaluation.
Family members were trying to post his bail after the hearing.
