An Uber driver verbally assaulted a newlywed gay couple for kissing in the back of his car early Wednesday in Manhattan, then peeled off as one of the men was exiting the ride, dragging and leaving him with nasty cuts, the man alleges.

Taray Carey and his husband of less than a month, Alex Majkowski, were headed with a friend to a bar near the couple’s East Village home when the trio ordered the ride-share near West 52nd Street and Ninth Avenue around 1:50 a.m., Carey said.

Toward the end of the ride, Carey, 27, and Majkowski, 33, shared a smooch in the backseat of the Toyota Camry.

“Are you f-gs?” the driver asked, according to Carey, who couldn’t believe his ears and asked the hack to repeat himself.

“Are you f—-ts? Are you f—-ts?” the driver allegedly railed. “In my country you’d be beheaded for that,” adding that he was from Russia.

The driver, who was identified only as “Denis” by a screenshot Carey took of his Uber profile, then “started driving like a moron,” said Carey. “His hatred of gays was beyond his self-preservation.”

The couple’s friend hopped out first when the car was stopped at a red light.

Carey tried to follow and was halfway out the door when he realized he was snagged on the seatbelt — and the driver took off.

Carey said he was dragged about a quarter of a block near East Fourth Street and Second Avenue, leaving him with nasty scrapes on his hand and knee, as well as a “golf ball”-sized welt on the back of his head.

Meanwhile, Majkowski was still inside, and the reeling Carey got up and ran after the car.

Majkowski hopped out safely when the Uber stopped at the next red light.

“If I had caught up to that car with my husband in the back, I’d be the one in jail,” seethed Carey.

“I’m not used to feeling so defenseless,” said the 6-foot-3 one-time Temple University linebacker, who now works as a real estate agent and contractor alongside his architect husband.

Making matters worse, Carey claims, is that the first NYPD cops to respond from the 9th Precinct shrugged off the couple’s account.

“The police laughed,” said Carey. “[One officer] said, ‘You probably deserved it.’”

“It was insult to injury.”

The NYPD said in a statement that body camera footage contradicted Carey’s claims about the officers’ response.

“After reviewing body camera video from the responding Police Officers, at no time did any of the officers mock the victim, tell him that he probably deserved it or laugh at him,” the statement said. “A complaint report was filed for leaving the scene of an accident with injury and is being investigated by the 9th Precinct Detective Squad.”

Carey was refunded the $17.46 for his trip from hell, and Uber was probing the complaint, a spokesperson said.

“What’s been reported is very concerning to us,” the statement said. “Uber does not tolerate any form of discrimination. The driver’s access to the app has been removed as we continue to investigate.”

But just because the driver has been banned from Uber doesn’t mean he can’t still drive for other ride-share companies or local car services, a loophole that city lawmakers want to cinch closed, The Post reported earlier this month.

A spokeswoman for the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission, which regulates all for-hire vehicles on New York’s streets, including Uber, added that the commission was looking into what happened.

“We reached out to the passenger to see if he will speak to the TLC’s prosecutors about what happened so we can thoroughly investigate,” the agency said.
