Meet the bravest custodian in Queens.
Supermarket janitor Angel Candido grabbed a shotgun early yesterday and fatally blasted a burglar who tried to clean out the store in the middle of the night, cops said.
Candido, who was working an overnight shift at the Met market at Jamaica Avenue and 173rd Street, was taking an authorized catnap in a crawl space below the store's office when he suddenly awoke up at 2 a.m. to see two men drop from the ceiling.
He watched silently as the burglars, who had cut a hole in the roof, made their way to the office safe.
Then the hardworking employee grabbed hold of the weapon - which he keeps with him when he sleeps - and fired a single blast.
Mamadou Koureichi, 27, of 88-09 148th St., was pronounced dead at the scene with a wound to the torso.
