A Coral Springs man pushing a pit bull in a shopping cart left a synagogue’s menorah in pieces, police say. He then told cops he was “in a production movie.”

The strange attack hit Chabad of Coral Springs late Saturday morning. A witness said a man in a ball cap, shades and a black shirt used his cart to bash the tall aluminum menorah. Its light fixtures were snapped off, left dangling or sent crashing to the ground. The damage is estimated at $5,000.

Officers sealed off the area and soon spotted Matthew John Ryan, 44, heading east on Wiles Road with the dog still riding in the cart.

He didn’t go quietly. Police say Ryan ignored orders to get down, insisted he’d done nothing, dug into his satchel and grabbed for an officer’s Taser before he was cuffed.

Next he complained of high blood sugar and a sore knee. Doctors cleared him, and he went to jail.

Police say the cart was taken from a nearby Walmart, which wants to press charges.

Rabbi Moshe Yaras told WSVN the menorah had stood for a decade without trouble. He can’t rule out hate, and he vows to answer it with more kindness.

Ryan faces charges including criminal mischief and resisting an officer.
