good Samaritan tackled a man armed with two guns fleeing cops in Manhattan last week.

Surveillance video released by the feds shows suspect Jason Fleming, 39, running down a Chelsea street with a revolver in hand — until a brave man stands in his way, pushes him into a nearby fence and grabs him by the jacket.

Three police officers who had been on Fleming’s tail caught up seconds later and handcuffed him, according to the footage.

The crazy scene unfolded on the afternoon of March 16 after Fleming allegedly got into an argument with a man and barged into a convenience shop — flashing the revolver inside, Manhattan federal prosecutors said.

The footage shows a frightened young girl carrying a backpack running out of the Grocery Smoke Shop on Tenth Avenue near West 25th Street as the armed man stood in the doorway.

The suspect then pulls back his coat to display a loaded semi-automatic Hi-Point carbine rifle that had been slung over his shoulder, according to the video.
