A city cop was critically wounded by a cowardly ex-con who blasted two bullets into his head on a Queens street Saturday evening — the fifth NYPD officer to be shot in as many months.

Plainclothes officer Brian Moore, 25, was in a medically induced coma after surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

The suspected gunman, Demetrius Blackwell, was in custody Saturday night after allegedly firing at Moore as the cop approached in an unmarked police car.

“He’s far from out of the woods,” one law-enforcement source said of Moore, who was in surgery for more than four hours.

A four-year NYPD veteran from a police family, Moore had been driving by the intersection of 212th Street and 104th Avenue in Queens Village at around 6:15 p.m.

He and his partner, Officer Eric Jensen, spotted Blackwell, whom they knew to have a long police record, said Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.

Blackwell had been fiddling with his waistband, a source said. The officers pulled up behind him, and Blackwell realized they were cops.

Words were exchanged, Bratton told a news conference at Jamaica Hospital. Then suddenly Blackwell, 35, drew a gun and fired at least three shots, shattering the quiet of the middle-class neighborhood, authorities said.

“He immediately opened fire on them before they had a chance to get out of the vehicle,” Bratton said.

“Demetrius Blackwell was taken into custody 90 minutes ­after the incident,” Bratton said.

Jensen was not injured.

The shooting came as efforts are underway by City Council members to cut the power of police, and follows the fatal ambush of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos in Brooklyn in December, and the nonfatal shooting of two other officers, Andrew Dossi and Aliro Pellerano in The Bronx in January.

Fellow officers placed Moore, who is assigned to the 105th Precinct, in a squad car and sped to Jamaica Hospital. He was in critical but stable condition.

Moore’s father and uncle are retired NYPD sergeants, and his cousin is a city cop.

“It doesn’t look good,” one ­worried officer could be heard telling another in the emergency room, which was crammed with fellow brothers in blue as Moore underwent surgery.

Other officers launched a manhunt for the suspected gunman, finding him at a home nearby with the help of witnesses who saw him flee.

“We saw him jump over the fence across 104th Street and push the gun in his pants,” said one neighbor. “He then ran down the sidewalk and into the driveway of a house three houses down.

“Then I ran over to the police car and told them where he went.”

Law-enforcement sources told The Post that Blackwell has a rec­ord of 10 arrests, including five on charges of robbery, grand larceny and criminal possession of a weapon.

Cops said they’re still looking for the gun.

“It is a painful day for all of us,” said Mayor de Blasio, who also spoke at the hospital.

“He is a brave young man,” the mayor said of Moore. Police gathered there did not turn their backs on de Blasio, as they did at the funerals of Liu, 32, and Ramos, 40.

The police have made way to many enemies for many to care.

Go to youtube put 'Cop kills dog' in the search box, you get tons of hits, put 'mailman kills dog' in the search box, you get literally none.

Cops come in contact with dogs on rare occasions, mailmen come in contact with dogs several times a day, why is it that mailmen don't shot dogs and cops do? Each time a dog is shot the police make three more enemies, each time they beat someone up, they make three more enemies, each time they violate rights they make three more enemies...

When you preach... and someone in your flock disagrees with your biblical interpretation, do you change it so you make a friend?

I didn't think so. lol

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
