A Manhattan woman who sued her motherless young nephew for breaking her wrist when he excitedly leaped into her arms at his birthday party won’t be getting a cent, a jury ruled Tuesday.

Jurors deliberated for just 25 minutes before unanimously ruling in favor of then-8-year-old Sean Tarala, who injured aunt Jennifer Connell in 2011.

“This was just a kid trying to give his aunt a hug on his birthday,” the boy’s lawyer, Thomas Noniewicz, said during closing arguments in Connecticut Superior Court.

“He’s just an 8-year-old. He wasn’t being negligent.”

Sean and his dad, Michael, live in Westport, Conn., and were not in the courtroom Tuesday. They declined to talk when they left their home early Wednesday.

Connell, a 54-year-old human resources manager from the ­Upper East Side, sat stone-faced in the courtroom with a black wrist guard on her left arm while the verdict was announced. She was seeking $127,000 from the youngster, who was the only ­defendant in the lawsuit.

Sean appeared to be bewildered by the proceedings when he appeared in the Bridgeport court with his dad on Friday.

“We just couldn’t find him, you know, liable for what happened,” a female juror told reporters after the verdict, although she added that “it wasn’t” easy for the six-person panel to agree.

In order to prove that Sean had negligently broken his aunt’s left wrist, Judge Edward Stodolink told jurors, they would have to determine what a “prudent” 8-year-old would have done in the situation.

When he saw Connell arrive at his party, the 50-pound boy yelled, “Auntie Jen, Auntie Jen!” and leaped into her arms, according to the Connecticut Post.

Connell, who has no children of her own, told jurors that her wrist gives her problems to this day.

“I was at a party recently and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.

The example apparently turned off at least some of the jurors, with one woman wrinkling her nose in disgust, reports said.

Connell’s lawyer, William Beckert, insisted it was tough on everyone involved.

“We do not take pleasure bringing a minor to court,” he said. “But Jennifer indeed has a case . . . [Sean] was unsafe, and his father did not see what happened. He didn’t mean to do it, but that is of no consequence. He should have known better.”

After the death of Sean’s mother, Lisa Tarala, at age 47, friends and family were encouraged to donate to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, as well as the Domestic Violence Crisis Center.
