   A big-mouthed poster boy for the city’s anti-stop-and-frisk   
   movement was suddenly tight-lipped at his arraignment on a grand-   
   larceny rap in Manhattan on Sunday.   
      
   Angel Ortiz, 19, was charged with grand larceny, felony   
   possession of a forged instrument and fraudulent accosting after   
   peddling phony Broadway and concert tickets to six victims on a   
   half-dozen occasions, authorities said.   
      
   The alleged fraudster pocketed $3,000 in the scheme, officials   
   said. It was his third bust on charges of selling bogus ducats   
   since spring.   
      
   Ortiz, who didn’t say a word in court before being remanded on   
   $10,000 bail, grabbed headlines in 2012 as a plaintiff in a stop-   
   and-frisk lawsuit filed against the city with the help of the   
   New York Civil Liberties Union. The NYCLU did not return request   
   for comment Sunday.“I could have bought the Brooklyn Bridge from   
   this guy, he was so charming,’’ Manes said.   
      
   At the time, Ortiz told reporters that he and his buddies “were   
   stopped, frisked and arrested for trespassing’’ near his Bronx   
   home for no reason.   
      
   Harvey Manes, a surgeon from Long Island, told The Post on   
   Sunday that he was one of Ortiz’s ticket-scam victims.   
      
   He said he bought two tickets from Ortiz for a Sarah Brightman   
   concert at Radio City Music Hall in September. He said he hadn’t   
   even planned on attending the event, but wound up buying the   
   tickets for $25 a piece after initially balking at their $100   
   “face value.’’
