COOKIE MONSTER JAILED FOR FIGHT WITH A TODDLER OVER $2 DOLLARS

Cookie Monster needs his mouth washed out with soap.

The crazed costumed Cookie Monster who menaced a family of tourists in Times Square called the mother "a b---h" and her son "a bastard," a police source said.

A costumed Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, 33, posed for a photo with 2-year-old Samay Katkar of Stamford, Conn. at 3:20 p.m. Sunday.

The money-hungry cookie monster then demanded Samay's mom, Parmita Katkar, cough up $2, police said.

When the mother of two refused, the blue beast saw red and started hurling epithets. He then pushed the boy, who lost his balance and became frightened, police said.

Parmita's husband then got the attention of cops, who arrested Quiroz-Lopez and charged him with assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

Quiroz-Lopez, of Jamaica, Queens, had no prior arrests and was expected to be arraigned Monday afternoon.

Cookie Monster is only the latest renegade costumed character to unnerve tourists.

In December, a performer dressed as Super Mario and carrying a stash of weed allegedly groped a woman in Times Square.

And last summer an anti-Semitic Elmo was busted in Central Park spouting prejudice rants through a megaphone.

Awwwww Mannnnn! Cookie Monster & Elmo done f**ked it up for everybody gettin' money on forty deuce!
