Accused Manhattan bike-path terrorist Sayfullo Saipov — who allegedly killed eight people in a Halloween horror — is trying to dodge death himself now.

Saipov, 29, says he would admit guilt in the case as part of a plea deal — as long as it ensures him life imprisonment instead of a possible death penalty, according to papers filed in Manhattan federal court Wednesday.

Saipov allegedly used a Home Depot rental truck to run over crowds of people on a downtown Manhattan bike path before a cop at the scene shot him down.

Saipov, of Uzbekistan, faces nine charges that carry the death penalty or life in prison upon conviction.

Prosecutors have not yet indicated whether they would even intend to seek the death penalty.

Saipov’s attorneys said they would agree to a plea deal that ensured Saipov would get life in prison without parole to avoid “years of appeals and other post-conviction litigation” that comes with a death penalty sentence also saving the victims’ families from enduring the trial.

“A decision by the government not to seek the death penalty would bring immediate closure to the case without the need for the public and victims to repeatedly relive the terrible events of October 31,2017. We hope to convince the government of that view in our submissions,” lawyers for Saipov wrote in a letter to a Manhattan judge.
