UPPER WEST SIDE — A deliveryman is in stable condition after being struck by a cab in the Upper West Side Sunday night, police said.

The unidentified man was riding his bike at 92nd Street and Broadway when he was hit by the cab driver around 10 p.m., police said.

He was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital where he is recovering.

The cab driver stayed on the scene and no charges were filed, police said.

The front windshield of the cab was smashed, and the bike lay in the street behind the vehicle.

The bike rider landed face-first on the pavement, according to witnesses.

Emergency crews carried the rider to the ambulance on a stretcher, with a neck brace around him.
