Victim stood up to thugs who tried to rob him at gunpoint in Central Park: ‘You don’t have the balls to shoot me’

They tried to rob the wrong guy.

One of the victims in a spate of robberies in Central Park fought back when two teens — one armed with a gun — tried to mug him on a walking trail Friday night.

“You don’t have the balls to shoot me,” he told them, recalling the frightening incident to The Post.

“I became the aggressor because I was like ‘You just tried to steal my phone.’”

“I might just be crazy, but I was like, ‘You’re going to shoot me over a phone? You don’t have the balls to pull the trigger,’” said Ashikur Chowdhury.

Chowdhury, who’s 6’2” and weighs more than 200-pounds, had been out walking for much of the day and was headed home to Harlem when the teens tried to grab the 25-year-old’s phone on the darkened trail.

“Any reasonable thug wouldn’t dare attack me, but they couldn’t be older than 16,” he said.

“I was on my phone just looking at the GPS trying to figure out where this bike path was leading…and all of the sudden a hand reaches over and tries to grab my phone,” he recalled.
