Taylor Swift's alleged stalker was seen being led away in handcuffs from a New York police station early Tuesday after being charged with harassment and stalking.
Exclusive photos obtained by The Post show David Crowe, 33, trying to hide his face under a dark blue hoodie as two 1st District police officers escorted him in Tribeca, just hours after he was charged with two counts of first-degree harassment counts of harassment and two counts of stalking.
The Seattle man was seen wandering around the “Shake It Off” singer's home on Monday, asking people if Swift lived there – two days after he was also stopped there, police sources said.
Crowe did not attempt to break into her home, but was seen hanging outside before police observed him allegedly harassing several people.
He is believed to be emotionally disturbed, sources said.

While the “Cruel Summer” artist was in Buffalo on Sunday for boyfriend Travis Kelce's NFL playoff game between the visiting Kansas City Chiefs and the Bills, she was back in town on Monday, a source told Page Six.
The alleged perpetrator was seen near her home around 3pm on Monday before police were called about three hours later, the source added.
“Officers were approached by multiple complainants who reported an emotionally disturbed male who was behaving erratically at the scene,” an NYPD spokesperson said.
“When officers observed the man harassing several complainants, they took him into custody without further incident. No injuries were reported.”

Crowe's arrest on Monday came just two days after he was pulled over by police when officers received a call about a “disorderly person” on Franklin Street, authorities previously told Page Six.
When Crowe was arrested by police on Saturday, it was for failing to comply with a subpoena from 2015, the NYPD told Page Six.
A source previously told Page Six that they had seen the same man walking around the neighborhood, particularly where Swift lives, for “a few weeks.”
