This is no yolk! Egg-tossing prankster irks NYC residents

It’s a hard boiled mystery.

Someone is hurܫling eggs into an Upper West Sid꧑e Park and residents are mad as shell.

Multiple people have vented online about the prankster and the protein projectiles, which have splattered on Verdi Park’s gardens and benches over the past two weeks.

Several🍌 theorized the mischief-maker was launching eggs with a slingshot from a building window across from the park along Amsterdam Avenuওe.

The egg-stra curricular activities have been freq💞uently going down between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., according to one witness.

“It has to stop,” one victim, Leila Ghermaoui ,told The Post this week. She was on her way to the subway at 72nd Street on June 8 when an egg was thrown near an elderly man playing saxophone. The exploding egg splashed onto her shoes.

“This could have been very dangerous,” she said. “Thank god it only touched my feet and not my eye.”

Some locals have guessed that the eggs are coming from a building across the street on Amsterdam Avenue.
