Residences at a posh West Side apartment building were briefly taken aback when a masked intruder was spotted creeping along the fire escape.
Fortunately, the masked hombre was merely a nosy raccoon looking for a nice place to wait out the dangers of an early morning, NYC rush hour.
A woman babysitting two children fled an apartment and called the NYPD Emergency Service Unit after the raccoon dropped into their breakfast get together uninvited.
The NYPD was able to cage the pest and relocate it to Riverside Park.
