Wild footage shows a crazed, self-righteous animal rights activist smacking a horse-drawn carriage driver in the face with her skateboard in Central Park — before cops arrested her for felony assault, police said Wednesday.

Sanctimonious skate punk Abigail Holbrook, 27, of Philadelphia first unleashed an unhinged tirade about “animal abuse” Tuesday on 59th Street near West Drive, according to footage shot by one of the drivers.

“You’re animal abusers! Horses do not do well in New York City. They are very sensitive to light and noise,” she shouted, according to the video. “I’m Squid the Kid, bro. Y’all will know my f–ing name.”

When another 45-year-old driver made a muffled comment, Holbrook flipped out and wielded her longboard as a weapon — bashing him in the shoulder and face with it, according to cops and footage.

The driver then grabbed the skateboard away from her, prompting her to whine, “Give me my board back!”

The wildly un-stable horse gal then grabbed her board away from him — and screamed at the cameraman, “You’re an animal abuser, are you proud of this?!”

Along with the skateboard assault, Holbrook is accused of punching a second 45-year-old carriage driver, according to police, who charged her with two counts of felony assault.

It was not immediately clear if the second assaulted driver was the man shooting footage.

Reps for New York City carriage workers — whose jobs are at risk after the controversial practice was banned last month — were champing at the bit to weigh in.
