A female driver went on a tear in Woodhaven, twice ramming a parking agent and sparking a wild chase, officials said yesterday.

Andrea McMillan, of Springfield Gardens, allegedly slammed into the victim on Jamaica Avenue at 78th Street on Oct. 18 after she was given a ticket.

"Bitch, you want to see that again?" she allegedly yelled at her.

She then backed into the agent before taking off, blowing through four red lights and four stop signs, sources said.

The agent got into her car and tried to block the road with it, but McMillan drove up on the sidewalk and clipped her bumper, officials said.

McMillan was hit with a slew of charges, including aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, according to a spokesman for District Attorney Richard Brown.

The traffic agent suffered bruising to her leg.

A thug who threatened to slash a man on a Ridgewood street said he regretted not going through with it after he was busted, authorities said.

Jerry Williams, 46, approached the victim waving a knife on Bleecker Street near Woodward Avenue on Oct. 18, just before 1:30 p.m.

"I'm going to slash you," Williams allegedly taunted.

When he was picked up, the suspect, who was carrying a boxcutter, told investigators that he was sorry he didn't cut the victim, sources said.

"If I would have known that this was going to happen, I would have slashed him," he allegedly said.

The DA's spokesman said Williams was charged with menacing and possession of a weapon.

It's not clear how or if the suspect and victim know each other.
