A pair of utility workers who witnessed Saturday’s murder of two Brooklyn cops helped police track down the gunman.
“They are heroes,” said John Melia of Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers Union of America.
The Con Ed workers were stopped at a red light while driving through Bedford-Stuyvesant on their way to an underground electrical fire when they witnessed the double killing, sources said.
One of the workers called 911 and the other flagged down a patrol car, which started following shooter Ismaaiyl Brinsley.
The two also followed Brinsley in their red truck as he walked on holding his silver Taurus automatic — and even tried to confront him on the street, the sources said.
“You want some of this?” the shooter snarled, leveling the gun at them, the sources told The Post.
The workers backed off, but made sure the cops knew Brinsley had ducked into a nearby G-train subway station, sources said.
“That’s how the cops knew he was in there,” a source said.
“It’s above and beyond the call of an average citizen,” Melia added.
