The Post witnessed the arrest of Zakiyy Houser, 18, a gangbanger with a history of weapons charges wanted for aggravated assault after an incident in which he allegedly shot two people.

Twenty-two agents from the US Marshals, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement were joined by Habba — President Trump’s attorney who got a front-row seat to the action.

“I can’t believe how many cases you guys are juggling … Unbelievable, unbelievable. God bless you guys, thank you for letting me see what you do every day. Truly it was an honor,” Habba said to the Marshals while decked out in a cap and one of the agency’s bulletproof vests.

Houser was nabbed wearing a blue Amazon vest at the Pennington Court apartments on South Street in Brick City — with Habba helping haul him out in cuffs.

Three other alleged shooters and a suspected weapons trafficker are also in the crosshairs for the agents as they continue their work Wednesday morning.
