A Queens woman who was viciously beaten with a pipe and raped last weekend died yesterday, police said.

The 23-year-old victim, Yu Yau — who came to New York from China two months ago — was taken off life support at New York Hospital, police said.

Cops arrested an intoxicated Carlos Salazar Cruz after the brutal attack on Main Street and 41st Road in Flushing early last Sunday.

The suspect was charged with attempted murder, but new charges are now pending because of Yau’s death, police said.

Cruz was allegedly caught on surveillance video moments after the vicious attack swinging the weapon as he walked away from his victim, WNYW/Channel 5 reported.
