This Tiger has turned tail.
The pot-puffing, rump-shaking homeless man called Tiger who turned Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village into his own private lair was cleared out by city authorities this week after The Post exposed his chaotic antics.
The vagrant, who affixed a stuffed tiger’s tail to his behind, was evicted Saturday from his luxe encampment — which included a bed, couch, side table, and books.
He briefly returned to the spot with a with a foraged mattress, but his home improvement project was shut down for a second time on Thursday.
“Thank you, thank you,” longtime Greenwich Village resident Doris Qinzi told The Post. “I’ve heard that the police have been called, 311 was called, and nothing occurred. So, thank you. Finally.”
Under the Mamdani administration homeless encampments are getting the kid glove treatment with the socialist ordering a halt to NYPD and sanitation encampment sweeps.
“The police will take action and then they’ll be back,” said Qinzi, 68. “So I don’t know what [the NYPD] are allowed to do with the Mamdani administration versus the Adams administration,” she said.
“I know the Adams administration was hell bent on getting rid of these encampments.”
A notice posted behind the new encampment’s bed warned that city agencies will be back on May 25 to effectuate a deep cleaning on the area.
“New York is special for all sorts of reasons and to an extent, that’s one of them,” said London tourist Scott Macintosh, who was pushing his child in a stroller down Sullivan Wednesday.
“I would probably prefer that it wasn’t part of the flavor, but that kind of crazy-element in New York is there still,” he said.
