CNN star Chris Cuomo, who is COVID-19 positive, was reported to the police for reportedly breaking quarantine.

And the man who saw him says Cuomo allegedly threatened to attack him if he said anything.

According to a report by The New York Post, Cuomo was seen outside his East Hampton estate with his children and some women by a passing bicycle rider who asked to only be identified by his first name, David.

The 65-year-old resident of the neighborhood told The Post he stopped his ride in disbelief and was confronted by a “bully” Cuomo.

“I just looked and said, ‘Is that Chris Cuomo? Isn’t he supposed to be quarantined?’” the man told The Post. Cuomo’s wife first came over to confront David, who pointed out that the CNN star should be inside by order of his own brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

He said Cuomo ran over and had a fit.

“He said, ‘Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want!’” David said. “He just ranted, screaming, ‘I’ll find out who you are!’”

“I said to him, ‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel,’” the bicycle rider told The Post.

Cuomo threatened to find the man and attack him, so David filed a police report.

“He just began to boil more,” David claimed.

“He said, ‘This is not the end of this. You’ll deal with this later. We will meet again.’”

“If that’s not a threat, I don’t know what is,” David told The Post.

Cuomo himself talked about the confrontation in a recent radio interview on SiriusXM. Cuomo complained that being held accountable by strangers was the worst part of his job as a liberal news star.

“I don’t want some jackass, loser, fat-tire biker being able to pull over and get in my space and talk bulls**t to me, I don’t want to hear it,” Cuomo said Tuesday.

“I want to be able to tell you to go to hell, to shut your mouth … I don’t get that doing what I do for a living: me being able to tell you to shut your mouth or I will do you the way you guys do each other,” Cuomo said.

According to the report, Cuomo’s radio rant got the attention of the police officer that David first filed the complaint with — and they plan to act.

“Any chance you saw the report” on the radio interview, David asked the investigating policeman.

“Yes, we have,” the cop reportedly replied. “I think you’ll like what we’ve written.”
