A 14-year-old boy fired a gun at two cops riding in an unmarked NYPD car on Staten Island, police said Sunday.

The officers, both assigned to a crime reduction team in the 120th Precinct, were driving near Prince St. and Vanderbilt Ave. in Clifton when the teen allegedly fired once in their direction just before 10:10 p.m. Saturday, NYPD officials said.

The shot did not hit the car or the officers, who chased down the teen gunman on foot. The cops arrested him and recovered a loaded gun.

The teen, whose name was not released because of his age, is charged with criminal possession of a weapon and obstructing governmental administration.
