Arsonists torched at least 11 NYPD vehicles in a targeted attack in a Brooklyn parking lot early Thursday — with undetonated explosive devices also found after two masked suspects were seen running away, police and sources said.

Police and FDNY responded to a report of multiple vehicles ablaze at a lot in Bushwick at the intersection of Central and DeKalb avenues — just a block from the 83rd Precinct station house — around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.

Mayor Eric Adams said at an unrelated press conference that 11 vehicles were damaged and 14 were impacted. No injuries were reported.

Cops also discovered three incendiary devices that did not go off placed on cars in the lot soon after two people wearing masks and gloves were seen running away, sources said. 

Photos from the scene obtained by The Post show spheres with wicks sticking out above a tire on the cars — similar to fire starters that can be bought at Home Depot.

Video obtained by the Post from an adjacent building shows one of the suspects in all black walking up to the Central Ave side of the lot. He then sets up a wooden table, checks if the coast was clear, and throws himself over the fence, the video shows.

“He used that wooden table there. He put it right here in the corner and he held on to this gate on the side and then climbed over. You could see in the video, you could see him pretty clear,” resident Miriam Benado, a retired housekeeper, said.

She said the man was “short and slim” and wearing all black. Benado assumes that he lives somewhere in the neighborhood “by the way he knew where everything was.”

“When the cops were trying to get into the gate, he didn’t panic and run back to where he came in. He knew where the back alley was … Most people don’t know that that even exists,” she said.

Nick Lopez, who lives directly across the street from the parking lot, said he realized immediately the fire “wasn’t a coincidence,” and described hearing the loud explosions as the cars burned.

The NYPD did not immediately give a suspected motive for the attack, however a flyer taped to a wall directly across from the police station accuses officers of the 83rd precinct of breaking up Puerto Rican Day festivities on Sunday night, injuring revelers.

The fliers called for resistance against the police, and tied in the anti-ICE and protests have spread from Los Angeles to New York City and global anti-Israel protests.

“Now is the time for unified, disciplined action — from Palestine to Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, the struggle for freedom continues,” the flier read.

Although no connection has yet to be made by cops, the attack was celebrated by one passerby walking past the scene early Thursday calling it “awesome” and “f–king rad.”

Mayor Adams said the “damage is unacceptable and we will find the person involved.”

“It takes courage to put on a uniform but you can be a coward to burn property and to damage property intentionally,” Hizzoner said.

“We refuse to allow disorder to reign in our city” he added.
