Two cops accused of pistol-whipping a teen in an assault caught on video are headed to trial, almost two years after they were originally indicted by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

“This case has not been worked out, not for lack of trying,” said Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun as NYPD officers David Afanador and Tyrane Isaacs looked on, flanked by attorneys Stephen Worth and Stephen Drummond.

“Nearly two years have gone by, and this case will go to trial on that date,” Chun warned. “If not, somebody better have a darn good reason why.”

The defendants have not yet decided if they will opt for a bench or jury trial, Worth said.

The officers allegedly chased 16 year-old Kareem Tribble after they caught him peering into the window of a parked car in August 2014.

Surveillance footage shows Tribble eventually slowing down, and putting his hands up before one of the cops punches him in the face.

As the terrified teen gets down on the ground, the other cop slaps him with the firearm across the face.

Chun previously dismissed the misdemeanor misconduct charges against both. Afanador remains charged with felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Isaac faces one count of misdemeanor assault.

Afanador and Isaacs have been on modified duty since the incident.

Earlier this year, former NYPD officer Peter Liang was convicted of manslaughter for shooting unarmed Akai Gurley during a patrol in November 2014. Chun downgraded his February conviction to criminally negligent homicide, and sentenced him to five years’ probation and 800 hours’ community service on April 19.

Officer Joel Edouard was found guilty in late April of stomping on a man’s head during an arrest following a bench trial. He was placed on unpaid administrative leave and could lose his job when he’s sentenced on June 10. Edouard faces up to a year in prison.
