Carlos Losada, who suffered a fractured left cheekbone in the 9:15 p.m. Saturday incident, said he’s never had an experience like this in his 17 years as a doorman.

“Unfortunately, in that moment, I was alone,” he said. “And no one was there to help.”

Losada caught the intruder trying to roll a blunt in the basement of the apartment building 68th Drive near Queens Blvd. in Forest Hills.

He told the man to leave and the two men rode the elevator to the ground floor.

Losada got out and was talking on his cellphone trying to keep the intruder at bay inside the lift when he was attacked without warning, surveillance video released by cops shows.

The pot smoker stepped out of the elevator and sent Losada sprawling to the floor with a sharp right-hand punch, the video shows.

Losada said he was so stunned he had no immediate reaction.
