Oh, the inhumanity!

As a New York man lay on the ground, dazed, slightly disoriented and in pain yesterday after being pulled from his overturned minivan after a crash on Bayview Avenue in Jersey City, a passer-by jumped at the opportunity and stole his cellphone and wallet from the vehicle just yards away.

Luckily for the 35-year-old from Queens, an off-duty corrections officer who pulled him from the 11 a.m. crash confronted the “buzzard” and was able to retrieve the man’s cellphone.

Kendrick Floyd, 24, of Jersey City, managed to get away with the man’s wallet, but not for long, police said.

Floyd was arrested yesterday afternoon at his Garfield Avenue home and charged with robbery and resisting arrest, police said.

Michael Chess, a 17-year veteran of the Hudson County Corrections Department, said he recognized Floyd from previous runs-ins with the law and identified him for cops.

Chess, 52, said he was in his car at the traffic light when the crash occurred at the intersection of Bayview and Ocean avenues. He raced to pull the New York man from the minivan with the help of two other men, he said. As he was tending to the man, the man asked for his cellphone and wallet and told Chess it was in the minivan.

When Chess went to retrieve the items, someone told him that another man had already taken them, pointing to the heartless perp.

That’s when Chess says he jumped up and called Floyd by name. When Floyd stopped, Chess grabbed him and demanded the items back. Chess managed to grab the cellphone, but he said Floyd took off on Ocean Avenue with the wallet, Chess said.

“He was like a buzzard swooping down on the opportunity,” said Chess, noting that he recognized Floyd from stints at Hudson County jail for “robbery, theft that’s his M.O.”

Floyd was released from prison in December after serving 18 months for theft, resisting arrest and drug distribution on school property in two separate incidents.

Chess said he has seen a lot of things in his 17 years as a corrections officer, but what happened yesterday morning was a first.

“You hear about things like this on TV, or on TV shows, but I’ve never witnessed someone robbing someone like that,” Chess said. “It’s really scary that this is what we’ve become.”

The New York man and the driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident were treated by EMTs on the scene and then taken to the Jersey City Medical Center to be examined after complaining of pain.
