An off-duty NYPD housing cop assaulted his wife during an argument inside their Brooklyn home, police said.

Cops from the 83rd Precinct in Bushwick took Police Officer Manuel Cantor-Alonso into custody about 2 a.m. Saturday after his wife called 911 and said her husband had attacked her, police said.

The two were in the middle of an argument when the 38-year-old officer pushed her to the ground and kicked her, said cops. The woman was not seriously harmed.

Cantor-Alonso, a 12-year NYPD veteran, was charged with assault. His arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court was pending Saturday.
