1. The unhinged vagrant then put the boot to the wrong man -- Recai “Rocky” Iskender, 48, of Cliffside Park, NJ, as he slept in his tent.

   Iskender, who on his Facebook page calls himself a career diplomat for his native Turkey and says he lost 20 pounds on a six-day hunger strike in the protest, leaped from his tent and hurled a plastic water jug at Clinch.

   The enraged Turk then lunged at his stunned assailant, nailing him with a punch that knocked him backward on the pavement.

   Clinch -- whom other protesters described as mentally ill and “off his meds” -- dropped to the sidewalk as the hulking Iskender stood over him glowering.

2. In a bizarre rant after the dust settled, Iskender told The Post that Clinch “is a police agent.”

   “He is a Bloomberg agent, disturbing and disrupting the protest,” said Iskender, who after the fight donned a message board that read, “USA-Turk Army Ended My Diplomatic Career 6 Times,” and also charged that “AC Tropicana Casino Robbed My $30K Pay For My Driving Job.”

Okay. They were both CRAZY. An encampment of loonies.

I guess the Turk just isn't a morning person. Lots of people are cranky in the morning until they get their first cup of coffee......
