An off-duty NYPD sergeant faces drunken-driving charges after he crashed into a bicyclist on a Manhattan street early Thursday, cops said.

Sgt. Louis Guglielmo, 42, a 16-year NYPD veteran, was arrested at 2:20 a.m., after he struck a 35-year-old man on a bike at First Ave. and E. 16th St. Medics took the cyclist to an area hospital in stable condition.

Cops couldn’t immediatel­y say if the cyclist was using the bike lane on First Ave.

Guglielmo refused to take a blood-alcohol test, cops said. He’s been suspended without pay, police said.

He was arraigned on drunken-driving charges in Manhattan Criminal Court Thursday evening and released on his own recognizan­ce.
