A dimwitted bank robber was nabbed Friday morning after hailing a cab to Bellevue Hospital to change his clothes that were soaked by an exploding dye pack, law-enforcement sources said.
Dennis Nemirovsky allegedly held up a TD Bank in Herald Square just before 10 a.m., fleeing with more than $ 100 after slipping a note to a teller demanding cash.
But when the red dye pack inside the bag exploded, staining his clothes, he ditched the cash at West 32nd Street and Sixth Avenue.
Cops responded to a report of an “explosion” at that location and discovered the flurry of red-covered bills in the street.
About 20 minutes later, Nemirovksy hit up another bank — this time Investors Bank at East 29th Street and Fifth Avenue — and promptly jumped into a cab to flee to Bellevue Hospital, where he’s a methadone patient, sources said.
Once there, he told the cabbie to wait outside while he went in and changed into a fresh button-down shirt and jeans, sources said.
But police had tracked the cab to Bellevue and promptly arrested the bandit.
Nemirovsky, from the Midwood section in Brooklyn, is charged with felony robbery, sources said.
The halfwit threatened a photographer with “I will find you!” as cops led him away in cuffs.
