The sicko accused of sexually violating a dead body on a lower Manhattan subway train was arrested Sunday night, police said.
Felix Rojas, 44, was charged with rape nearly three weeks after he allegedly assaulted the body of the dead man on an R train near the Whitehall Street station, according to the NYPD.
The victim was identified as 37-year-old family man Jorge Gonzalez, who mysteriously died on the train and was then allegedly targeted by Rojas.
Rojas, of Brooklyn, turned himself in to police with his son on Sunday, sources said.
Gonzalez boarded the subway around 8 p.m. on April 8 before the suspect got on about three hours later – though it’s unclear where — sources previously told The Post.
The accused necrophiliac then allegedly performed the sickening act on the dead man shortly before midnight and fled the train around 12:08 a.m., according to security footage obtained by police.
The NYPD blasted out an image of the suspect on the train before an arrest was made.
It was not immediately clear what led to Gonzalez’s death, though his estranged wife said he dealt with alcoholism and cirrhosis.
