Police have busted the man they think slipped into a woman’s Upper East Side home and licked her face, authorities said Friday.

Salih Kolenovic, a 40-year-old Queens man, was arrested late Thursday and charged with sexually motivated burglary and sexual abuse, cops said.

Two anonymous tipsters called police after recognizing photos of Kolenovic, whom they said is known to frequent the Upper East Side neighborhood.

Kolenovic allegedly got into the 28-year-old’s home near East 65th Street and First Avenue around 6:35 a.m. Sunday through an unlocked front door, police said.

The horrified woman woke up to find the stranger kissing and licking her face, police said. She confronted Kolenovic and chased him out the door.

He was picked up Thursday not far from the woman’s home, cops said.

Kolenovic is due to appear in court either late Friday or early Saturday.
