A swinging Australian couple is suing cops after they were shot at a Melbourne orgy.

According to the Australian Associated Press, Dale Ewins and his partner, Zita Sukys, both in their 30s, were attending a fancy-dress Saints and Sinners ball at the Inflation nightclub in July 2017.

Ewins claims the couple were enjoying the fleshfest — he was dressed as the Joker — when cops burst in as he was performing a sex act on Sukys.

He was shot twice in the back by the Critical Incident Response Team officers.

Now, about 50 orgy-goers are expected to testify at a trial expected to last a month.

The couple’s legal eagles allege police were negligent and used excessive force when they raided the bawdy bash and opened fire with hollow-point bullets.

For their part, the police say Ewins reached under a cushion and pulled out what appeared to be a gun. It was a fake.

Ewins said he was seriously injured in the shooting and has been unable to work since the incident. The twosome is suing for damages and lost earnings.

In addition, Ewins is suing cops for defamation after they held a press conference claiming he pointed a gun at them and didn’t drop it when asked.

The trial is slated to begin in September.
