Palacios stole a bicycle from in front of a coffee shop and tried to flee before he was detained by officers.
The bike was valued at $3,500 and was damaged in the chase, according to the New York Post.
Palacios was found in possession of graffiti paraphernalia, officials said. He was charged with grand larceny, two counts of criminal mischief, possession of stolen property, making graffiti and possession of graffiti instruments.
Authorities also charged Palacios with making graffiti and possession of graffiti instruments for an incident in June that occurred at the Broad Channel subway station in Queens.
On September 16, Palacios was captured on video using an ax to smash up a McDonald’s on the Lower East Side during a dispute with other patrons.
