One of the suspects in a brutal home invasion — in which the alleged robbers raped one of the victims — has been caught by police.

Brandon Daniels, 24, was arrested Tuesday evening after turning himself in and is facing a slew of charges including attempted rape and robbery.

Shocking video showed three armed suspects storming into a home in the area of 251th Street and 57th Avenue in Little Neck on the night of May 4, according to the NYPD.

Police said they demanded the residents, a 34-year-old woman and her mother, to hand over cash. The women complied, giving them nearly $10,000.

Two of the suspects then allegedly raped and sexually assaulted the 34-year-old woman before making their escape.

The three suspects fled the location in two different vehicles. Two of the other suspects are still on the run.

It is unclear if the suspects targeted this particular family, which owns restaurants, police sources said.

The investigation is ongoing.
