A driver in an SUV T-boned an NYPD squad car that was moving with its lights and sirens on through a Midtown intersection early Thursday, cops said. 

The police cruiser was hustling north on Eighth Avenue near West 37th Street, through a red light, around 4 a.m., police said.

At that point, a white Toyota SUV — which had a green light — entered the intersection and T-boned the police car, authorities said. 

Two officers and the Toyota driver, a man in his 60s, were hospitalized with minor injuries, cops said.
