A bicyclist who said he was badly hurt when a cop grabbed him as he rode down a Brooklyn street just won a $2.25 million settlement from the city.

Judge Wavny Toussaint ruled in favor of injured cyclist Charles Puccio, 62 — after the city waited until the third day of a bench trial to conjure up an NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau file related to the case, the plaintiff’s lawyers said.

“We had demanded the IAB file during discovery — it wasn’t produced,” lawyer Brett Kuller, of Chopra & Nocerino LLP, said.

The city Law Department claimed that “confusion over the existence” of the file caused the delay.

While Detective Noel Lawrence denied grabbing Puccio’s arm as he biked in Canarsie, causing him to swerve and crash, video footage appeared to contradict the cop’s claim. It’s unclear why Lawrence allegedly grabbed the rider as he got out of his unmarked department car.

Puccio was left with injuries to his foot, back and knee that later required three surgeries, his lawyers said.

Puccio was awarded nearly half of the $5 million he’d sued for.

The NYPD didn’t return a request for comment.
