CHELSEA — A man who was kicked out of a Chelsea club was arrested shortly afterward when he was caught urinating on the sidewalk outside, police said.

When officers approached Joaquin, he ran back into the club, then flailed his arms and kicked his legs as the officers arrested him, according to the NYPD.
