A Queens substitute teacher was arrested after telling a 14-year-old student he could make her “fall in love” with him, police said Tuesday.

Jasskirat Saini was busted Monday morning and charged with child endangerment and harassment.

Saini, 23, was working as a substitute teacher at Hillcrest High School on Highland Ave. near 162nd St. in Jamaica last week when he allegedly placed his hand on the student’s thigh and said “If I were a student I would make you fall in love with me and have sex with me,” a police source said.

The student reported the interaction and cops were notified.

Saini’s arraignment was pending in Queens Criminal Court Tuesday.

On Friday, Bronx grammar school teacher’s aide Estevan Hamilton, 23, was arrested on child endangerment and harassment charges after he allegedly sent a love letter to a 10-year-old student at P.S. 481, the Steam Bridge School.

Before he was taken into custody, Hamilton was attacked by the girl’s furious stepfather, who was shown the letter, police said.
