Bronx

A stabbing victim on her death bed helped police capture her killer by making a final declaration: “Mike did it,” police said yesterday.

“Mike” referred to the MySpace name used by suspected murderer Raymond Dennis, 35, who was arrested Wednesday on murder charges, cops said.

Dennis had chatted with the victim, Nimzay Aponte, 23, on MySpace, and their conversation soon turned sour. But first, Dennis learned that Aponte was going to be at a job fair in Longwood on Tuesday, cops said.

On that day, Aponte walked into St. Mary’s Park, where Dennis attacked her, police said.

A sex fiend went on a two-hour groping spree on the East Side, attacking three women in separate incidents — pouncing on one in an elevator and another in a Rite-Aid store, sources said yesterday.

The pervert, an Asian man in his 30s with long, black hair, shoved his hand up the woman’s skirt, grabbed her crotch and buttocks, and ran out of the store, sources said.

Forty-five minutes later, he did the same thing to a woman in the lobby of her building on Second Avenue near East 36th Street, cops said.

Then, at 8:15 p.m., he assaulted a 27-year-old woman in the elevator of her building on East 56th Street near Third Avenue, the sources said.

He was last seen wearing tan shorts, a tan and black T-shirt and white sneakers.

A spokeswoman for the Manhattan DA’s Office said Adams was charged with grand larceny.

A 14-year-old thug was arrested for brutally beating a young man during a robbery on the Lower East Side, authorities said yesterday.

Witnesses identified the 14-year-old in a photo array, and the youth was arrested Tuesday on charges of assault and robbery. His accomplices were also busted; the charges against them were not available.

A Buffalo man was beaten in the West Village early yesterday in an attack that police are probing as a possible hate crime.

There was brief exchange of words, and one of the men punched the victim in the face, knocking him to the ground and causing him to hit his head on the pavement.

“I got him good,” the attacker bragged to his cohorts.

The victim was taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital where he was in serious but stable condition. Cops are investigating the possibility that he was targeted because he’s gay. No arrests have been made.
