MIDTOWN — A homeless man was arrested for throwing a brick at the window of a Midtown pub, as well as hurling objects through the windows and doors of eight other locations nearby, the NYPD said. 

Sergiu Sirbu, 35, chucked a brick at the front window of McGee’s Pub, at 140 W. 55th St. between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, around 5:30 a.m. on July 14, the NYPD said. 

Police couldn't say whether the brick broke the window of McGee's Pub.

Sirbu also threw unidentified objects through the glass doors and windows of eight other locations near the bar, the NYPD said.

On Friday, an employee working at the pub — which served as the inspiration for McLaren’s Pub on the TV series “How I Met Your Mother” — said she wasn’t aware of the incident.

The bar’s manager couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

Sirbu, who was arrested and charged with 10 counts of criminal mischief, hadn’t yet been arraigned as of Friday morning.

His attorney information wasn’t immediately available.
