The feces-flinging nutcase who threw poop in the face of one woman and dropped a bag of waste down another woman’s shorts on the Upper East Side was hiding out in a Brooklyn shelter when he was nabbed by cops, sources said Friday.
A tip led officers to the Samaritan Village shelter on Myrtle Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where they found Ekwan Hill, 42, about 6 p.m. Thursday, the sources said.
A security guard at the shelter recognized Hill as the poop-wielder in a surveillance video released by police, sources said.
After the guard called 911, cops arrived and found Hill munching away on his dinner, sources said.

"Two cops brought him out, no struggle, no commotion,” said a shelter resident who gave his name only as Worthy. "He was cool, calm and collected and just walked into the (police) car."

Hill has been living in the shelter for about 10 months, sources said. Cops found the clothes he was wearing in the surveillance video in his locker at the shelter, according to police sources.
"He's really borderline delirious — bad body order, talks to himself, keeps to himself,” Worthy said. “Those feces he threw was probably his own. He's an outcast type of dude."
Before cops were tipped off the shelter, Hill was the subject of a block-by-block search across Manhattan by cops.

Hill shocked the city when he attacked the two women in a span of four hours Monday, treating them as his personal toilet.
The madman struck twice, but was nabbed before he could claim a turd victim.

The human piece of crap’s first attack came at about 2:30 p.m. A 33-year-old woman was walking on E. 91st St near Madison Ave. when he hit her in the face with excrement. She was unhurt.
Then, just before 6:30 p.m. on E. 74th St. near First Ave., surveillance video captured him sneaking up behind a woman, grabbing her rear and forcing the bag of waste down her shorts.
The gloved sicko then pushed her into a nearby driveway as she grabbed at her backside trying to figure out what just happened, according to cops.
Hill pulled off the gloves he was wearing and took off, police said.
"He's really borderline delirious — bad body order, talks to himself, keeps to himself,” Worthy said. “Those feces he threw was probably his own. He's an outcast type of dude."

On Thursday, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce called him “completely deranged.”
The attacks were random, police officials said.
"I just heard about it this morning and I was like 'Wow,'" said a security guard at the shelter who declined to give his name, early Friday.
"He's usually talking to himself ... He has a huge beard. I feel bad for those women though. He needs help."
