QUEENS — A Department of Sanitation worker was arrested Monday after driving drunk the wrong way down a one-way Rosedale street while his child was in the backseat, according to police and sources.

Steven Shung, 39, was speaking incoherently after police stopped him for driving his Acura against traffic on North Conduit Avenue near Francis Lewis Boulevard about 6:30 p.m, sources said.

When police searched his vehicle they found his 5-year-old child sitting in a car seat and two small bags of marijuana.

Shung — who has three prior arrests, all of which are sealed — was charged with felony DWI, criminal possession of a controlled substance and acting in a manner injurious to a child.
