Four students were arrested for allegedly assaulting school safety agents who were trying to break up a fight inside Hillcrest High School less than a week before a mob of kids rampaged through the halls of the same Queens school over a teacher attending a pro-Israel rally.

Shocking video that captured part of the harrowing attack on one NYPD officer was posted to social media Sunday night and later verified by the NYPD.

The brawl broke out around noon on Nov. 15 when three students were fighting another two students.

School safety agents attempted to break up the fight but became the target of several blows themselves, police said.

In total, three NYPD school officers were injured as they tried to separate the students during the melee, cops said.

Four of the students, two 15-year-old boys and two 16-year-old boys, were arrested and issued juvenile reports, according to the NYPD.

The department gives out juvenile reports in lieu of a misdemeanor or felony charge when the suspects are young minors.

Footage of the incident shared by Queens Councilwoman Vickie Paladino on X shows a student in a gray sweatshirt appearing to spin away from a cop, out of her grip, and then charge at another student who is quickly blocked by a second uniformed officer.

The student in the gray hoodie and at least one other student wail on the second officer, punching him numerous times in the back of the head as he appears to try to shield the pupil from getting hit, according to the clip.

Paladino, one of the few GOP members on the NYC Council, assailed the administration at Hillcrest as “totally compromised” and called for the school to be shut down “pending a full and thorough investigation.”

“This cannot continue in our schools. Order and discipline must be restored,” she also said in her statement.

The NYPD, in its own statement about the incident, said, “Violence in our schools will not be tolerated.”

An email to the NYC Department of Education was not immediately returned late Sunday.

The latest revelation of violence at the Jamaica school comes after The Post exclusively reported over the weekend that a teacher was forced to hide in a locked office last Monday as hundreds of students flooded the hallways.

The high schoolers chanted, jumped, shouted, and waved Palestinian flags and banners during the riot after they found out the educator attended a pro-Israel rally last month.

The NYPD rushed a couple dozen cops to Hillcrest to restore order, officials said.

Students were eventually corralled back into classrooms after a couple hours of mayhem and the teacher was escorted out of the building, sources and the NYPD said.

Mayor Eric Adams ripped the “vile show of antisemitism” at Hillcrest in a statement posted to X Saturday night following The Post’s reporting and the city’s DOE called the actions against the teacher “completely unacceptable.”
