the direction of the on-duty cop and sped up a second time - again hitting the first responder in the leg and causing him to fall to the ground, the complaint said.

Before whizzing off, Paulino allegedly used the rear wheels of the SUV to hit the officer again, in the legs, prosecutors charged.

The injured cop was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries including severe pain, bruising, redness and swelling to his legs, ankles, knees, hips and back.

Paulino - who now faces a top charge of attempted murder - was ordered held on $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 bond during his Monday arraignment in Bronx Criminal Court.

The immigration detainer is still in effect, online city Department of Correction records show.

News of Paulino's arrest came just as ICE announced Tuesday that it had lodged immigration detainers against the two Dominican nationals busted in connection with the brutal Bronx stabbing of an off-duty NYPD detective earlier this month.

D'Angelo Caraballo and Sneinder Mejia were ordered held without bail last week on attempted-murder charges in the Oct. 2 assault on hero cop Jose Mercedes.

Mercedes was stabbed 10 times even though he repeatedly identified himself as a cop - and then chased his attackers for two blocks while barefoot despite his injuries.

 New York City's refusal to honor ICE detainers and its repeated release of removable aliens has grave and unacceptable consequences, including for the very law enforcement officers sworn to protect this city,  ICE New York City Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo said in a Tuesday statement about that case.

 When public safety is politicized and cooperation with federal immigration enforcement is rejected, dangerous individuals will remain in our communities despite repeated encounters with law enforcement. New Yorkers deserve policies that prevent future harm rather than create opportunities for it.
