A Brooklyn man who ran a red light and mowed down a popular yeshiva teacher after downing the boozy energy drink Four Loko was convicted of manslaughter yesterday and is facing up to 15 years in prison.

Anel Kolenovic, now 25, slammed into a car driven by Moshe Berkowitz, 25, at Ocean Avenue and Avenue N in Midwood on Nov. 29, 2010. Berkowitz was killed and his female passenger injured.

The Brooklyn Supreme Court jury found Kolenovic guilty of manslaughter in the second degree.

Kolenovic was found not guilty of the top charge, aggravated vehicular homicide, which could have gotten him up to 25 years.

Kolenovic, who had been free on $400,000 bond, was immediately taken into custody.
