NYPD cops little to nothing as a brawl broke out in a group of five. The Post has learned.

A 14-year old girl was brutally beaten, she was slapped, kicked and punched and even shocked with a stun gun by a group of five other girls after a basketball game around 7 p.m. Sunday on East 125th Street near Madison Avenue in Harlem.

Police reports initially even listed the girl as 11.

During the brutal attack on the young girl, the cops sat on their cruise doing nothing to stop the vicious attack. They didn't move till the girl was bloodied and bruised, a Post photographer observed.

At least 20 police cars were nearby on the street — with at least one a little more than a car-length away, photos show.

Police sources say the girl is currently treated at Mount Sinai Hospital after being cut, bruised and shocked in the stomach with the stun gun. The girl told cops she didn’t know her attackers but knew two of their handles on social media, sources said.

An NYPD spokesman claimed the account witnessed by the Post photographer was “completely inaccurate.

“The officers were met by a large crowd while attempting to come to this person’s assistance. They were outnumbered. Projectiles were thrown at them. And they were forced to reposition and call every available resource in the area,” said rep Al Baker.

To support their claim, the department also shared footage that claims that people were throwing bottles at cops who tried to intervene — though it was unclear when or where the footage was shot, and it does not show the girl being attacked.

But the Post photographer says he observed no bottles thrown around though he was on the scene after hearing reports of an unruly crowd nearby some 45 minutes prior.

It is not clear if any arrests have been made in connection with the fight.

The issue comes when the Police union faces the challenge of NYC’s chokehold bill that makes it a misdemeanor crime to use any technique during an arrest that could limit breathing. Over the last month, the arrests have slowed down with cops making nearly 60 percent fewer collars, according to NYPD statistics released Monday.

Cops are also pulling over fewer drivers, issuing a quarter of the normal speeding tickets — with the city’s speed cameras violation count holding steady.
