NYPD disciplines officer after he’s snapped sleeping on subway

This decorated cop was photographed snoozing on the subway by a straphanger who saw something, and said something.

Martin Bisi used his cellphone to snap the alarming picture of Officer Matthew Sobota, 43, on an F train — with his holstered gun in plain view — at around 3 p.m. Feb. 16.

Bisi then e-mailed the photo to NYPD brass, who slapped Sobota with a “command discipline.”

“NYC cop sleeping on F train last Thurs w/weapon — i reported,” Bisi tweeted yesterday, as he posted several pictures of Sobota to his Twitter account.

“if you see something, say something!” Bisi wrote.

The humiliating shots show Sobota dozing — while seated, with his hat in his hand, directly under an ad for the 311 help line.

Sources said Sobota, who is assigned to the mounted unit, was off duty but headed to do paid security work sanctioned by the NYPD.

The cop has been awarded several citations for bravery.

In 2010, the 20-year veteran shot and wounded a crazed man with a history of attacking cops after the lunatic was caught vandalizing a police cruiser.

Sobota and his partner also snared a pair of Brooklyn rape suspects in 1999 after the victim ran up to them wearing only her underwear.
