A hooligan claiming to be a member of an anti-Scientology group was arrested Wednesday for attempting to "desecrate" the Church of Scientology with a wacky weapon - Vaseline, police said.
Mahoud Samed Almahadin - the name he gave cops - tossed a number of books around, then smeared the petroleum jelly on a TV set, shelves and himself during the incident at the W. 46th St. Scientology center last week.
A cohort videotaped the 18-year-old's antics while surveillance cameras filmed them both.
Cops used the tapes to track down the dopey duo, who said they were members of Anonymous, a shadowy, Internet-based anti-Scientology group.
A cop escorting the suspect to his arraignment, said "He's just a kid. He's young and he's dumb."
Police said Almahadin, clad in shorts, boots and rubber gloves, entered the building at 227 W. 46th St. with his partner at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday and went to work. The Vaseline was laced with toenail clippings and pubic hair, police said.
Shown the tapes at the Midtown North Precinct, Almahadin admitted, "Yup, that's me," a source said.
Almahadin, whose who goes by Matt Connor on the Web, was charged with burglary, criminal mischief and aggravated harassment as hate crimes. No charges were filed against the other man.

I find it hard to believe that somebody called "Mahoud Almahadin" would actually need to acquire body hair that was not his own. Motion to dismiss! - Phoenix Wright
