UNION SQUARE — Two people who were kicked out of Coffee Shop after they refused to order food later returned to steal money from the bar, the NYPD said.
Germaine Parham, 21, and another man were told to leave the cafe and bar at 29 Union Square West, but they returned at 10:25 a.m. on May 4, lifted cash from the bar and fled, police said.
The restaurant's bus boy chased Parham, while a manager flagged down police officers who were driving by, police said.
Police caught up with Parham at Ninth Street and Fourth Avenue and arrested him, but not before he attacked the officers, biting and spitting at them and throwing an officer's cellphone on the ground, police said.
Parham was charged with assault of a police officer and resisting arrest, according to court documents.
He is due back in court on May 9. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The other man who was with him had not been arrested as of Tuesday.
