A New Orleans man pummeled a city housing cop — whose partner stood nearby and watched, shocking video shows.

The footage, which appeared on social media earlier this week, shows a man repeatedly punching an unidentified Housing Authority of New Orleans officer on the ground as the uniformed official struggles to get back on his feet.

The housing officer nearly gets upright again before he’s sent back to the sidewalk for a second time, as the man decked him in the face once more, all while his partner stood several feet away, video shows.

“Don’t f—king play with me!” the man shouts before shoving the housing cop away. “Go ahead!”

The housing officer then composed himself and subdued the man — 41-year-old Darrell Bush, of New Orleans — with a stun gun, according to NOLA.com.

Several bystanders are willing to testify that the housing cop called Bush’s mother a derogatory name after engaging the man for “no apparent reason,” his attorney told the website.

“That same officer, for no apparent reason, made physical contact with my client prior to the fight ensuing,” attorney John Fuller said.

The agency’s executive director said in a statement to The Post on Friday that the incident was being reviewed.

“This is an internal personnel matter that we are taking seriously and will be addressed appropriately,” HANO executive director Gregg Fortner said.

Court records show that the confrontation started when the housing cop asked Bush to move his parked car away from a fire hydrant. Bush became “argumentative” and later got into the officer’s “personal space,” records show.

Bush, who has been charged with battery of an officer, resisting an officer by force and simple criminal damage to property, has been released after posting bail.

A longer version of the video, meanwhile, clearly shows that the officer picked the fight, Fuller told WWL-TV.

“I think there’s some embarrassment on the part of the officer because my client obviously got the best of him, if you saw the video,” Fuller said. “But there was nothing that my client did that was illegal.”
