Boy visits shot cop who saved him, ma

A 10-year-old Queens boy begged his mother to let him visit the cop who was shot while saving them both, leading to an emotional reunion between the youngster and his hero.

“He saved my life, me and my mom’s,” said young Jacob Rodriguez, sporting a wound under an eye from when he tried to stop his mom’s ex from allegedly beating her at their Jamaica home Sunday night.

Jacob yesterday recalled that while at Jamaica Hospital, he told Officer Joseph Koch, “Thanks for everything. You saved my life.”

“He was like, ‘Anytime,’ ” the boy said. “He’s a pretty cool guy.”

Koch was shot in the hand — and could lose a finger — as he struggled with José Bernazard, who allegedly left Jacob’s mom with a gash to the head.

Koch, a father of three, — who works in Far Rockaway’s 101st Precinct — had been down the street at his fiancée’s home for a Father’s Day barbecue when he heard the screams and rushed to help.

Jacob’s relatives said Bernazard, 40, had dated the boy’s mom briefly a year ago before she broke it off.
