A sex offender was nabbed for allegedly raping and robbing a woman at knife-point this week — and police say a call he made to 911 led to his arrest.
Michael Mann, 52, was arrested Thursday on a number of charges, including rape and robbery.
Police say a 27-year-old woman was walking home near Dekalb and Bushwick avenues in Bushwick on Tuesday when she was approached by a man wielding a knife at 2:30 a.m.
The man robbed the woman and then raped her, police say, before he took off on foot.
Mann was arrested after he apparently called 911 for help on Wednesday and responding officers noticed him as a suspect in the rape. It's unclear what prompted him to call 911.
Mann faces a slew of charges, including rape, robbery, criminal sex act, sex abuse, menacing, forcible touching and criminal possession of a weapon.
He is a registered sex offender with a long criminal past, according to police. He faces additional charges for allegedly failing to appear for a 90-day address verification, failing to send an annual verification and failing to report a change of address.
