Two drunks clocked an off-duty cop in the face on his way home from grocery shopping in Carroll Gardens, police sources said.
The 56-year-old victim was walking near Smith and West Ninth streets around midnight Saturday, when Stuart Rawitz, 30, allegedly kicked a bag of groceries out of his hand and sucker-punched the cop in the face.
But when the off-duty officer identified himself as a cop, the pair suddenly turned into pussycats.
Rawitz and pal Brian Hansbury, 33, waited for police to slap the cuffs on them, police sources said.
Hansbury was found to be in possession of a glass pipe, which was being sent to a lab to identify suspicious residue found on it, the sources said.
He has been charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and Rawitz faces assault charges, cops said.
