A CITY SCHOOL teacher who works as a wrestling coach at an upscale Westcheste­r high school has been busted on rape charges, authoritie­s said Wednesday.

Police arrested Tyler Sick, 29, on Monday, accusing him of illegal sexual contact with a minor.

Sick, who lives in Tarrytown, works as an assistant coach at Edgemont High School in Greenburgh.

Cops wouldn’t describe the specific allegation­s against Sick, but the Westcheste­r County Jail website shows he faces rape charges. He is being held on $45,000 bail.

Sick has been suspended from his job as a teacher at the East Bronx Academy for the Future, where he has worked for a year.

“These allegation­s are extremely troubling,” said Education Department spokesman Douglas Cohen. “Mr. Sick was immediatel­y reassigned away from students and was removed from payroll.”

Greenburgh Police are asking “any students that may have had inappropri­ate contact” with Sick to call Detective Nick Parikka at (914) 989-1736.
