Tense video captures the moment a retired NYPD cop shot and wounded a man who threatened him with a machete during a broad-daylight road rage incident on Staten Island this week.

The brief clip obtained by The Post shows a light-colored SUV with a 45-year-old man behind the wheel whizzing into a parking spot at Vineland Avenue near Grantwood Avenue in Annadale at around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

As the 50-year-old ex-cop pulls up in a maroon SUV behind his vehicle, the first driver gets out and runs around the front of his rival’s ride, holding a machete.

The 45-year-old menace flashed a machete before the ex-cop whipped out a gun, police said.

That’s when the retiree jumps into action, opening his car door as he lets off about three gunshots, the video shows.
