Ex-Mets hothead Lenny Dykstra allegedly pulled a gun on an Uber driver in New Jersey while carrying a stash of drugs that included cocaine, it was reported Wednesday.

The driver had picked Dykstra, 55, up in Linden — and he requested to change his destination, cops said, according to NJ.com. But the cabby refused.

Dykstra then allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened to kill the driver, police said.

The driver, a 47-year-old man from Roselle, NJ, then got the attention of police by speeding his Uber vehicle into a parking garage near the police station while honking his horn repeatedly.
