A cuffed inmate pushed a cop while being transported and took off into Harlem Thursday morning, police said.

The 25-year-old man had just been discharged from the hospital, and officers were taking him to the precinct to be processed around 9:50 a.m. when he ran off near Lenox Avenue and West 137th Street, according to cops.

Police were canvassing the neighborhood.

“He’s cuffed so he shouldn’t be that hard to find,” a police spokesman said.

The man was in custody for violating an order of protection, cops said.
