A quick-thinking cop made like MacGyver to save the life of a Harlem stabbing victim.

Police Officer Ronald Kennedy covered a gaping chest wound with a potato chip bag and some tape after a 29-year-old homeless man was knifed in the chest and collapsed outside a bodega on Lenox Ave. and Malcolm X Blvd. in Harlem at 10:15 p.m. on July 7, cops said.

“Go get me a bag of potato chips right now!” the four-year NYPD veteran screamed at a bystander in a wild scene captured by an NYPD body camera and released by the department.

“He caught me in my lung,” the bleeding victim said weakly.

“I know ... I know. Just relax,” Kennedy assured the man as he peered under his blood-stained shirt. When the bystander rushed back outside with a $2 bag of Lays potato chips, Kennedy ripped it open, dumped out the contents and called for someone to go back inside the bodega and find some tape.

Kennedy and pair of bystanders laid the victim on the ground, where the cop placed the bag on the wound and taped it up, easing the man’s labored breathing.

“We got you ... we got you,” Kennedy is heard saying. “Don’t touch it. Stay with me!”

“It’s the best I can do with what I had,” Kennedy told Emergency Medical Service workers when they arrived and looked over his impromptu patch job. Before the victim left in an ambulance, the cop offered a parting wish of good will: “Keep breathing, bro.”

EMS brought the victim to Harlem Hospital, where he remained in critical but stable condition Saturday.

“According to the attending physician at Harlem Hospital, the actions of Police Officer Ronald Kennedy saved the victim’s life,” the NYPD tweeted with a video of the save.

“This is just one example of the heroic work that your NYPD officers do every day,” NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison tweeted.

Police said the victim was stabbed by another homeless man during an argument on W. 124th St. outside of Marcus Garvey Park. He managed to stumble around the corner to the bodega, where he collapsed and witnesses called 911.

A knife was found at the scene of the attack, cops said. His alleged attacker, 38-year-old Eric Rodriguez, was arrested on July 11 and charged with attempted murder, assault and weapons possession charges.

Rodriguez, remanded to jail after his arrest, was released without bail following a court hearing on Friday, according to court records.
