Detectives apprehended the suspected Manhattan subway rapist accused of sexually assaulting a man on board a 1 train last weekend, police announced Thursday afternoon.

Mohammed Azeem, 36, of Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn was taken into custody just before 2:50 p.m. on May 1, hours after the NYPD released video and images Thursday morning of the perpetrator behind the depraved assault on April 26.

Police alleged that Azeem went on the attack on board an Uptown-bound 1 train as it approached the Christopher Street station at about 4:15 a.m. last Saturday morning

Based on a preliminary investigation, police learned that the perpetrator approached the victim, a 27-year-old man, and demanded money. Moments later, he forced the victim to perform what police described as a lewd act. Sources familiar with the case said the suspect forced the victim to perform oral sex on him.

Following the attack, cops said, the creep then departed the train at Christopher Street and fled to parts unknown.

The incident was reported to the 6th Precinct and NYPD Transit District 2. EMS rushed the victim to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. 

The victim did not know his attacker, police sources said. No weapons had been displayed in the assault, and no property was taken from the victim.

In the video police provided, captured by a security camera inside the train car, the suspect is seen walking away from someone and sniffing his fingers.

Azeem now faces charges of first-degree rape, first-degree sexual abuse and forcible touching.
