PUBLIC LOVERS NAILED – CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Here’s a real tale of sex and the city – a couple’s romantic stroll along a leafy Brooklyn block turned into a randy romp on the sidewalk that was abruptly interrupted when a cop caught the woman bare-bottomed and her boyfriend sprawled on top.

Philip Conlon, 24, of Williamsburg, and girlfriend Caitlin Clonan, 21, of Greenwich, Conn., were charged with a lewd act.

Officer Talat Awad spotted the obliviously passionate pair at 4:50 a.m. Thursday on the pavement in front of a classic brownstone stretch of First Street near Sixth Avenue in Park Slope.

“People make mistakes,” Clonan told The Post yesterday. “This is the biggest one I ever made.”

Clonan was naked from the waist down, and her pants were around her ankles, police sources said.

Conlon was more demurely clothed, with his pants on – but the status of his zipper was unclear.

Reached at her family home in an upscale part of Greenwich yesterday, Clonan admitted she was romping in the street – but insisted it was more of an ad-hoc snog session than an X-rated sexcapade.

“It’s not what the police officer thought he saw,” the pretty college grad said. “We were walking down a dark street in Brooklyn. I didn’t think it was a big deal. We started making out, and one thing led to another. There was some nudity – but I really regret it.”

The cop also found a bag of cocaine in Conlon’s pants pocket and arrested him for drug possession, police said.

Both Conlon and Clonan were charged with public lewdness.

At their arraignment in the Red Hook Community Justice Center yesterday, the canoodling couple was released without bail and ordered to stay out of trouble for the next six months.

Each horn dog must complete a day of community service, and Conlon was ordered into drug treatment.

Clonan said she was staying at a friend’s apartment in Park Slope when they decided to take a walk.

The couple started kissing in front of a fence near a row of brownstones that are under renovation. That’s when the make-out session allegedly escalated.

The address Conlon gave cops is a run-down building on South Second Street that reeks of urine. Neighbors there said they had never heard of him.
