“FEDS AT MY DOOR IM GOIN OUT WITH A BANG!!!!!!! TAKE MY SOUL,’’ Corey Dunton wrote on Facebook as police descended on his mom’s Bronx apartment, where he was hiding, around 8 a.m.
“LOVE ALL MY REAL N- - -AS ALL MY REAL SHORTYS FEDS TRIEN KICK DOWN MY DOOR ITS OVER WERE DO I GO FROM HEREEEEE MANNNNN DO I END MY LIFE IDK WAT TO DO I F- - KED UP,’’ Dunton wrote about an hour later.
“THESE N- - -AS GUNNA HAVE TO TAKE ME OUT TAKE MY LIFE THESE N- - -AS BEEN BANGIN FOR LIKE A F- -KIN HOUR I AINT GOIN TO JAIL I REATHER TAKE MY LIFE!!”
Shortly after, Dunton meekly surrendered. He was charged Sunday night with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
Saturday night, Dunton had tried to mug Javier Contreras, 20, of Manhattan right on the Midtown rink’s ice, demanding the man’s Marmot Mammoth parka, known on the streets as a “Biggie,” sources said.
Dunton wrote on Facebook early Friday that he was going to the park fully loaded.
His Facebook page showed him wearing red beads and holding his fingers in the shape of a pistol.
But Contreras refused to hand over his $680 yellow-and-green jacket, prompting Dunton to storm off the ice, sources said.
Dunton took off his skates and then went back to the rink’s railing and demanded Contreras’ jacket again, the source said. The pair didn’t know each other, sources said.
But Contreras still refused to give in. When he skated around again in front of Dunton, the suspect fired three shots with a .22-caliber handgun, hitting Contreras in the hand and hip, a source said.
Another skater, Adonis Mera, 14, of East Harlem also was struck — shot in the back and gravely wounded. A cellphone photo captured him tragically lying on the ice.

He “has no feelings from the waist down,’’ Mera’s brother, Jorge Arias, 29, said early Sunday.
Another brother who visited Mera at Bellevue Hospital said: “I just wanted to see his face. He’s a baby. He’s a little kid.”
One neighbor called Mera “a great kid, not into violence or trouble.”
A tipster led cops to the Westchester Avenue apartment of Dunton’s mom.
Dunton was taken to the Midtown South precinct house, where he refused to answer questions and asked for a lawyer, a source said.
“He thinks he’s a gangster,” the source said. “He think’s he’s a real tough guy.”
Police sources said Dunton has a violent history, including arrests for robbery and grand larceny.
