The man arrested for slamming his car into an NYPD officer in a Tuesday-night hit-and-run was drunk, police said Wednesday.

Driver Franklin Liz allegedly hit the plainclothes cop as the officer and his partner were returning to their patrol car near East Houston Street and Avenue D around 7:45 p.m.

The 45-year-old allegedly sped off, but was nabbed nearby on Delancey and Columbia streets, where cops found an open bottle of Tito’s Vodka in his car, sources said.

Liz is facing several charges including one count each of leaving the scene of an accident, vehicular assault, reckless endangerment and driving while intoxicated, police said. He was awaiting arraignment on Wednesday.

The officer suffered a compound fracture to his leg and was taken to Bellevue Hospital, according to cops.
