An off-duty NYPD cop was slashed and robbed in Queens early Saturday morning, police sources said.

Police said the 52-year-old victim was approached by two men in their 20s on Ruscoe Street and 177th Street in Jamaica shortly after midnight and one of the suspects displayed a steak knife, an NYPD spokeswoman said.

The attackers took the victim’s wallet, cell phone and keys, the spokeswoman said.

The cop suffered lacerations to one of his hands but declined medical attention, cops said.

Police sources said the victim is a cop who was off-duty at the time.

The NYPD spokeswoman could not confirm that detail Saturday morning.
