Police Commissioner Ray Kelly came to the defense yesterday of a Hasidic cop accused of abusing a female straphanger he arrested for having an unleashed dog in the subway.

But Kelly did say her allegation will be probed by the Civilian Compliant Review Board.

"[There is] no indication that she was [manhandled]," he said of Brooklyn blogger Chrissie Brodigan.

"She made an allegation that she was abused in some way, and that's an appropriate issue for the Civilian Complaint Review Board to handle."

Brodigan got into a confrontation with Officer Joel Witriol, the city's first Hasidic cop, when she refused to put her pug in a travel container Monday.

Witnesses say she hurled anti-Semitic remarks at the yarmulke-wearing officer when he wanted to give her a summons.
