Cops had a wild shootout with two brazen robbers who opened fire on them during a robbery in Queens Tuesday morning, police said.
The armed hoodlums were robbing a home at 133rd Ave. in South Ozone Park when cops closed in about 9 a.m.
The perps fled - but not before shooting at cops, police said.
The perps sped off in a white Ford Focus, zigzagging through the streets all the way to 153rd St. in Jamaica.
"I heard one shot, that's when I got up," said Orlando Bovell, 42, who lives on the corner of 119th Ave.
Bovell ran to his window and watched the shootout continue.
"Then there were at least eight shots," he added. "That's when everyone started scattering."
The Focus eventually crashed into Bovell's 2000 Kia Sportage, which was parked at 119th Ave. and 153rd St.
The gunmen fled the vehicle, as dozens of cops, canines and an NYPD helicopter descended on the scene.
Police said one man was arrested, and charges against him were pending.
The other suspect remains on the loose.
A flat-screen television wrapped in foam was found in the Focus.
