A tough-as-nails 72-year-old NBC production director was pummeled by a pack of brutes in Midtown — but laughed off the attack by telling The Post, “I didn’t go down.”

The Jersey man, John Sullivan, was walking on Sixth Avenue near West 43rd Street on his way to work at 30 Rock around 2:20 a.m. Monday when eight men surrounded him.

“They started hassling me,” Sullivan said. “At first the shoved me and then they started circling around pointing at me, yelling ‘Boo.’”

Sullivan, who has made the same commute for 53 years without incident, said he didn’t know what to think of the group and tried to get away.
