Hero cop: ‘I don’t know how he didn’t hit me from that range’

It was “divine intervention.”

The partner of the NYPD cop saved by his gun belt said the stunning sequence was like the scene in “Pulp Fiction” where a gunman opens fire on the main characters at point-blank range and misses with every shot.

“We were only a couple feet away. I don’t know how he didn’t hit me from that range,” Thomas Dunne told The Post of alleged shooter Luis Martinez.

Dunne’s partner, Thomas Richards, 36, was saved when a round hit the extra clip in his pocket. Two other close-range shots missed the cops.

“A few inches and it could have been a lot worse,” said Dunne, 30. “We’re very fortunate that we came out of it basically unscathed.”

The housing cops were on patrol on Columbia Street on the Lower East Side when they began chasing suspected pot dealer Martinez on foot. He turned and allegedly fired.

“Once the gunfire starts, you kind of just react,” said Dunne, who drew his gun for the first time in seven years on the force.

Martinez tried to squeeze off a second round, but his gun jammed, cops said.

He was shot in the leg when the cops returned fire.

“We both kept saying to each other how lucky we were,” Dunne said. “One of the first things he said to me was, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t get shot.’ ”

Martinez has nine prior arrests, including for assault and weapons possession, police sources said.

He was charged with attempted murder, weapons possession and reckless endangerment.

Dunne said that after the dust settled, and they took calls from the mayor and police commissioner, they just wanted to go home.

“We walked out to the garage, shook hands, patted each other on the back and went home,” Dunne said. “It was the end of a long day.”
