An off-duty NYPD cop was arrested in Queens during the early hours Wednesday morning for harassing and stalking his ex-girlfriend.

Officer Ernie Moran, 34, had allegedly been badgering the woman since April 1 and was picked up by cops from the 115th Precinct on July 8 at around 12:35 a.m., police said.

Moran allegedly sent his former partner text messages, called her repeatedly and made threats, police said.

Moran also showed up at her Jackson Heights home uninvited. He allegedly stared at his ex-girlfriend through her window in one incident, according to the New York Daily News.

Moran, who resides in Brooklyn, was charged with aggravated harassment and stalking, police said.

He has been on the force for six years and had been working at the housing bureau in Coney Island, police said.

Moran has been suspended without pay, according to the NYPD.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
