The suspected gang member who allegedly shot and wounded two NYPD sergeants after robbing a woman on the Lower East Side this week showed no remorse — giving the middle finger to cops while sitting in his holding cell.

Joshua Dorsett, 22, can be seen flipping off the camera with both hands, while handcuffed and shackled inside the dingy cell, the snap provided to The Post showed.

The barefoot suspect is dressed in dirty gray sweatpants and a matching hoodie. He appeared in court wearing a t-shirt and pajama pants emblazoned with the “I Love NY” logo.

“He just kinda grabbed it and from there, they passed it around,” the 24-year-old victim told The Post by phone on Wednesday.

A homeless woman with a lengthy rap sheet allegedly tried to snatch two toddlers from a Manhattan playground in a brazen, broad-daylight attempt to steal kids that was eventually thwarted by one “superhero” nanny, police and prosecutors said. 

“I owe my nanny a lot,” said the shaken father of the second of the two kids, whose nanny confronted the twisted child snatcher after she grabbed the 2-year-old and tried to run from the park. 

“They don’t get enough credit but she would do anything to protect my child,” added the dad, who didn’t want his or his child’s name used.

Colorado Coalition for the Homeless has repurposed yet another hotel into housing. Renewal Village opened Thursday at 200 W. 48th Ave in Denver. The former Clarion contains 215 rooms. “All Denverites deserve access to safe, stable, and affordable housing,” Mayor Mike Johnston said at the grand opening. “Housing paired with wraparound services, like Renewal Village, provide key support structure to help people successfully transition out of homelessness for good. Projects like this are an important step to creating housing in Denver that is affordable to everyone, but we have much more work to do to close the gap.”
