An NYPD cop on horseback chased down a convicted killer parolee who swiped a purse on the Upper West Side in a wild pursuit fit for a western flick, dramatic footage shows.

Felicia Field, 44 — who robbed and killed a cab driver with her boyfriend in April 2000 — snatched the bag from a woman on 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue at around 11 a.m. Wednesday then tried to hoof it away, police said.

The fearless mounted cop and his studly sidekick, Kelly, quickly galloped across a busy street and down a crowded sidewalk to nab her and recover the purse, according to a tweet from the NYPD.

Field was arraigned and set free on supervised release Thursday morning — less than 24 hours after her arrest.

The John Wayne-worthy body cam footage shows the officer shouting “Police, stop! Stop running!” as he chases after the crook down on horseback.

Field allegedly then darts into traffic before the hot-to-trot horse, a 23-year-old standardbred bay, catches up to her. She’s then shown being cuffed by cops.

“Whether on foot or on hooves, our officers are always ready,” the NYPD declared on X.

Field was charged with grand larceny and false impersonation for allegedly lying about her name. She has 14 prior arrests on her record.

She has been arrested for three other crimes this year, including allegedly threatening someone with scissors, kicking a man and stealing $900 in merchandise.

She served 25 years behind bars for the 2000 killing until she was paroled last year.

Field was 18 years old in April 2000, when she and her boyfriend, Charles Rhodes, 17, and a friend, Tyrek Cross, 17, hailed a cab in East New York with a plan to rob the driver at gunpoint, police said at the time.

During the holdup, the cabbie, Saro Manuel Lopez — a 43-year-old father of five — was fatally shot in the back of the head, marking the ninth killing of a cab driver that year.

Investigators said Field told them she was holding the gun but was trying to pass it off to Cross, when a bullet fired into Lopez’s head.

Field claimed she was seated in the front seat with Lopez when the gun accidentally went off.

Witnesses reportedly heard Field shout, “Why did you shoot him?”

Field’s father later claimed she had a history of psychiatric problems and was forced to take the fall for her male friends.

She ultimately confessed to her role killing and was held on $100,000 bail in 2000.

The usual suspect.
Lincoln's mistake.
All because we wanted cheap cotton.

Why isn't she back in jail to rot as some will never learn to behave.

She was involved in murder yet is free to be on the streets!?!

NYC probably has the worst penal system in the country. Scumbags, like her, know this. That's why they keep committing crimes. There are animals running around with dozens of prior arrests.

This smooth brained take is why we have to pay taxes to pedophiles so they can bomb children.

Why on Earth does this officer have a double bridle? As if he doesn't have enough going on to mess with another set of reins.
I was expecting some excitement and it's a dud.
