Cops want cuffs now – but DA Cy eyes grand jury

The Manhattan district attorney will seek an indictment against Harvey Weinstein as early as next week — ignoring an NYPD plan to immediately slap the movie mogul in cuffs, sources told The Post.

Cops had been building a case against the predatory producer for allegedly raping actress Paz de la Huerta twice in 2010.

Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said last week the department is sharing information with DA Cyrus Vance Jr.’s office, and the next step would be to obtain an arrest warrant to pick up Weinstein (inset) in Arizona, where he is in sex rehab.

There has been bad blood between the two law-enforcement arms since each blamed the other for botching a 2015 case against Weinstein based on allegations by an Italian model — and the DA’s office was irate when police officials last week told the press that they were waiting on Vance to come through with the warrant, a source said.

Vance instead plans on presenting a case to a grand jury first and waiting for an indictment, law-enforcement sources said.

De la Huerta is just one of dozens of women to accuse Weinstein of sexual assault or harassment in recent months, but police believe her case is particularly strong because the alleged rapes happened within the statute of limitations and she can recount both incidents in detail. The “Board- walk Empire” star says the producer twice wormed his way into her Tribeca apartment in as many months, then forced himself on her.

“I did say no, and when he was on top of me, I said, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ He kept humping me, and it was disgusting. He’s like a pig . . . He raped me,” she told Vanity Fair.

News of Weinstein’s possible indictment comes on the heels of a report that he had hired private investigators in recent years to fend off accusers.

He paid two of the world’s most prestigious private security firms to spy on actresses and journalists, The New Yorker magazine reported.

On Thursday, power lawyer David Boies issued a statement to employees in his firm, acknowledging his role in the protection scheme and taking full responsibility for his actions.

Boies has been getting blasted on social media for reportedly enabling Weinstein while working for him.

Weinstein has repeatedly denied having nonconsensual sex with anyone.

Vance’s office declined to comment.
