A man who battered a motorist in a Queens parking space brawl finally turned himself in to cops this week, giving a bizarre explanation over his delay in stepping forward.

Mathew Nicola, 25, was arrested nearly two months after he was caught-on-video joining in as a mother-daughter duo attacked a female motorist and flung racial slurs because she stole their “saved” spot on a Ridgewood street on July 7.
