The Brooklyn businessma­n accused of bribing cops used police favors to court his mistress, including a special tour of 1 Police Plaza, the woman testified Wednesday.

Tara Sheils said in Manhattan Federal Court she met Jeremy Reichberg while working as a nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital in September 2014. Reichberg was recovering from gallbladde­r surgery and she agreed to continue caring for him at his home in Borough Park.
