The pipe-wielding thug accused of attacking two people in the Bronx last month has been busted by cops, authorities said Friday.

Manuel Jimenez, 24, a Bronx resident, was hit with charges of attempted murder and acting in a manner injurious to a child for the assaults, which targeted a woman and a 13-year-old boy, according to cops.

Last Saturday, Jimenez allegedly beat a 58-year-old woman with a metal pipe, breaking her arm, at about 3 p.m. on Walton Avenue and East 144th Street in Mott Haven, police said.

The fiend allegedly went after the teen victim about a week earlier, approaching him from behind and pummeling him to the ground near Willis Avenue and East 144th Street.

The boy suffered minor injuries.

The NYPD circulated surveillance photos of the suspect following the attacks.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea announced the arrest in a tweet Friday, saying that the detective squad for the 40th Precinct “with the help of the public has identified and apprehended the person wanted for this attack.”
