"Elmo no like tourists, tightwads - or photographers.
At least a rogue version of the lovable "Sesame Street" character hassling passersby outside Planet Hollywood in Times Square Friday night didn't.
The dirty and creepy character demanded money from people and, when he didn't get it, swore and jostled them.
"No picture. No picture. You have to tip Elmo. You have to tip Elmo or Elmo gets angry," the imposter shouted as he stuck a filthy red paw over a Texas tourist's camera lens."
