Jaquan Whittle, 25, was arrested in the Tuesday subway attack.
(NYPD)
A woman turned the tables on a would-be rapist inside a Manhattan subway station, police said Tuesday.
The 23-year-old woman told cops a man followed her as she walked to the Prospect Park subway station in Brooklyn about 5:20 p.m. Monday.
“You look like a ho!” he screamed at her according to police sources. “I could rape you right now.”
As the woman went through the turnstile at the station, the man ran up and grabbed her behind, police said.
She hopped on a Manhattan-bound Q train to get away from him, but he followed and sat across from her during the ride to Midtown, cops said.
Once they reached 34th St., the suspect got off the train behind the woman and manhandled her on an escalator, police said.
As the two struggled, the man bit the victim on her chest. She shoved him, and he tumbled down the escalator, authorities said.
While they were on the train together, the woman snapped pictures of the creep next to a subway map before he bolted.
Cops recognized 25-year-old Jaquan Whittle as the man pictured based on a prior, unspecified summons and arrested him at his Crown Heights home around 1 a.m. Wednesday.
