The Bleeker Street butcher accused of handing a noose to a black deliveryman is off the chopping block — so long as he stays out of trouble.

Joseph Ottomanelli, who allegedly handed a makeshift noose to 36-year-old drive Victor Sheppard, will have the case against him dismissed and sealed if he can avoid arrest for the next six months.

The longtime meat-hawker, of Ottomanelli & Sons Meat Market, maintains he had nothing to do with the racist stunt.

“Joseph Ottomanelli did not do that which he was accused of doing,” defense attorney Ron Kuby said Monday. “Unfortunately, a false accusation has become tantamount to a conviction and perpetual sentence on social media. He and his family will continue to serve a diverse community, with zero tolerance for bias, as they have done for over a century.”

The 61-year-old butcher has previously said a disgruntled, fired employee was behind the hateful act.
