XXX-TRA SORRY Porn star feeling blue over NYPD pictures

- BY ROCCO PARASCANDO­LA

An off-duty NYPD sergeant shot and wounded a bat-wielding romantic rival after he caught the man in bed with his wife, police sources said.

The 34-year-old cop, who is assigned to the 103rd Precinct in Queens, had just returned from an NYPD-sanctioned boxing match to his Seaford home around midnight when he discovered his wife in bed with another man, sources said.

The cop ordered the 29-yearold man out of his house. The man pulled a baseball bat out of his car and tried to hit the cop before the sergeant pulled out a gun and shot him in the chest, Nassau County police said.

It was not immediatel­y clear if the sergeant was struck by the bat. Both he and the wounded man were taken to nearby hospitals.

No criminal charges were immediatel­y filed, as investigat­ors tried to determine if the off-duty cop acted in self-defense.

The sergeant was placed on modified duty and stripped of his gun and shield, the NYPD said.

She’s shameless on the screen — but regrets her undercover trip into the headquarte­rs of New York’s Finest.

German porn star Annina Ucatis apologized Friday on Instagram for her controvers­ial visit to One Police Plaza, and said her guide had no idea she’d starred in such flicks as “Inside Annina” and “Fast & Sexy.”

Ucatis, 40, who says she’s no longer in the porn business, was among a number of people shown around the headquarte­rs on Columbus Day by NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Raganella.

“To all my followers, there has been much controvers­y over my recent visit to NYC — specifical­ly to the NYPD and its headquarte­rs building,” Ucatis wrote on Instagram. “Ragnella had no prior knowledge of my formal (sic) career before graciously allowing me to join his fellow law enforcemen­t visitors.

“I am a huge fan of NYC and law enforcemen­t and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenie­nce or embarrassm­ent this has caused the Deputy Inspector or the NYPD,” she wrote.

The 40-year-old adult film star did not apologize for taking pictures inside the Real Time Crime Center, where sensitive police informatio­n is sometimes posted on large video screens and on computer terminals.

Nor did she mention anything about her photo next to an urn in the lobby of the Lower Manhattan building that stands as a memorial to the 23 officers killed on 9/11.

Ucatis’ tour was arranged by a police chief from another department, and NYPD brass was under the impression that she was a real estate broker with law enforcemen­t ties, said police sources.

Raganella declined to comment Friday when approached by a Daily News reporter at police headquarte­rs.

“You know I can’t do that,” he said. “DCPI is right upstairs.”

DCPI stands for the Deputy Commission­er for Public Informatio­n, and is the NYPD’s press office.

Visits to One Police Plaza are limited to members of law enforcemen­t, vendors who do business with the department and groups such as criminal justice students. The tours are planned in advance and guests are limited, the NYPD said.

But sources said those rules are not ironclad, particular­ly if a member of law enforcemen­t is vouching for the visitors.
