Three suspected car thieves a cop was chasing when he was hit by a motorcycle pleaded not guilty this morning.

Tiku Qoko, Sefer Mujo and Mario Koruni, all 18 and from Brooklyn, were charged in the alleged car theft. Qoko and Mujo were also charged with assaulting a police officer, a felony.

They all are being held on $75,000 bond.

Their attorney, Lance Lazzaro, said this morning that they’re scapegoats in the incident that left Officer Carlos Olmedo, 31, badly injured.

Olmedo was hit Sunday on 20th Avenue during the foot chase of the suspects. He remains in critical condition.
