Manhattan’s top prosecutor showed off his painting skills at Washington Square Park this week in a bizarre bid to “heal” the city, while drug addicts nodded off all around.
Soft-on-crime District Attorney Alvin Bragg was spotted by The Post brush in hand, lost in a watercolor sketch, as part of his “art of healing” July workshop series.
The choice of location was no coincidence — the northwest corner of the park has spiraled into a depraved drug den, with syringes littering the ground and zombies shooting up on park benches and under trees.

“We want to take back the park and make it available for those who live and visit the area to do things like the artwork we were just doing, you know listen to music, enjoy the park,” Bragg told The Post.
