June 1, 2007 -- A "kissing bandit" robbed a terrified sunbather in Central Park yesterday - threatening to stab her unless she smooched him on the lips.

"Give me a kiss or I'll stab you!" the pervert demanded of the frightened 26-year-old financial analyst from Manhattan, police sources said.

She reluctantly acquiesced, and the disgusting confrontation ended without her being hurt, the sources said.

The attractive brunette had been sitting on a boulder near West Drive and West 109th Street, where she was sunbathing at about 3:30 p.m.

She was approached by a man of medium build, possibly a light-skinned Hispanic, approximately 25- to 35-years-old and perhaps 5-feet-10, and with yellowed teeth, police sources said.

The man said he had a knife - but did not show it - and demanded the woman's valuables, saying, "Give me your iPod!" and "Give me your cellphone!"

After she gave him what he wanted, the suspect upped the ante, asking to be kissed on the lips before he would let her go.

After the kiss, the thief disappeared, running off toward West 109th Street, the sources said.

Other women in the park yesterday were shocked by the brazen daylight attack.

"I feel less safe because he had a knife," said Marcelyn Dupree, 52, of the Upper West Side.

"If she said no, he could have hurt her

Having to give a kiss to the creeper who steals your cellphone and ipod would be infuriating.

smart move though, no one would suspect a robbery like that in broad daylight, and the kiss is genious, everyone would just think he was her boyfriend or some shit, thus allowing him to try something like that in broad daylight and get away with it.

people never try crafty shit like that here. it's usually just drunken rape, or breaking and entering... or both. But not nessessarily in that order.
