A Manhattan comedian feuding with his landlord walked into court Thursday clutching a stomach-churning piece of evidence: a bag of dead rats.

Pandemonium broke out inside Manhattan Housing Court when Ramon Severino, 52, whipped out a plastic bag stuffed with the seven bloody carcasses.

An officer snatched the pungent evidence from Severino and it was hauled out of the building.
