A wheelchair-using, one-legged homeless man is hell on wheels — accused by cops of fatally plunging a large ice pick into a rival’s face on a Brooklyn sidewalk.

Antonio Graham, 50 — whose troubled past includes a staggering 45 arrests — was awaiting arraignment Saturday night, preliminarily charged with manslaughter, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Cops say Graham, a habitual violent thief and drug user, stabbed 60-year-old Gary Smith in the face just before dawn Tuesday near the corner of Schenectady Avenue and St. John’s Place in Crown Heights.

The amputee vagrant then allegedly wheeled himself away, taking the bloody ice pick with him.

The nature of their dispute was not immediately known.

A cold-hearted Graham allegedly left his victim to die what could only have been an agonizing death, authorities contend. Smith lived just four blocks from where he was stabbed.

Despite his grievous injury, he attempted to stumble home. But he did not get very far. He was found by a passerby just before 5 a.m., slumped on the steps outside 260 Schenectady Ave., three blocks from his home.

Cops found him unconscious and with “trauma to the face,” police said.

Medics rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police used video surveillance to identify Graham and finally caught up to him at noon on Friday.

Graham hasn’t let his disability slow him down when it comes to crime.

The accused killer has been getting in trouble with the law since the 1980s, records show.

Most of those busts involved drugs, law-enforcement sources said. Other arrests were for assault and larcenies.

His most recent arrest was in April, when he was busted for allegedly stealing a car.
