A Rockland County man was stabbed to death when he tried to stop a violent thief from stealing his bike steps from a Queens subway station early Monday, prosecutors said.

Nelson Torres, 33, is accused of pushing Spring Valley man Anderson Archila-Martinez off his bike and riding away with it around 12:15 a.m. at the corner of Junction Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue in Corona, according to a complaint filed in Queens Criminal Court. 

When Archila-Martinez tried to retrieve his bike, Torres then stabbed him in the stomach with a knife, according to cops and the court filing. 

The gravely wounded man was taken to the Elmhurst Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. 

Torres, 33 — who lived a few blocks from the scene — was arrested by responding cops and charged with first- and second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to the complaint. 

He was ordered held without bail during his Tuesday arraignment and ordered to reappear in court Thursday.

Archila-Martinez’s “shattered” family described their slain relative as “a cherished son, a loyal friend, and someone who brought light and laughter to everyone around him,” according to a GoFundMe page seeking donations to help cover his funeral and memorial expenses. 

“His loss has left an emptiness in our hearts that words can hardly describe,” the family wrote.

Footage from the aftermath of the deadly attack, posted on Citizen, shows NYPD vehicles lined up on the street, just outside the steps leading to the elevated Junction Boulevard No. 7 train station. 

Photos from the scene show a bike lying in the street near the curb as police investigate.
