A creep sexually assaulted a 4-year-old girl in the play area of a McDonald’s in Jamaica, while a security guard stood by and did nothing, the victim’s mother told cops.

Investigators are trying to determine if it’s happened before.

The preschooler had just crawled up a covered slide inside the play area at the Hillside Avenue restaurant at 8:25 p.m., Tuesday, when she encountered a man who had been lying in wait, law-enforcement sources said.

The man (pictured) had been lurking inside the restaurant for more than 90 minutes when he forced the girl to perform oral sex until she fled down the slide and told her mom, the sources added.

The mother begged the guard for help, but he did nothing as the suspect tried to flee out an emergency exit, the sources said.

The exit was locked, forcing him to turn and head toward the front door, where the mother tried to grab him, the sources added.

Cops are looking into whether the assault is related to an attack on a 9-year-old girl in the same place on March 9.

In that instance, a man waited and asked the child to sit on his lap and play a video game, the sources said.

He groped the child while telling her she was beautiful, the sources added.

The man is believed to be in his late teens or his 20s and was last seen wearing a brown or dark purple short-sleeved Ralph Lauren Polo shirt, jeans and white sneakers, police said.

He also has a lump or bandage on his forehead.

They casually walked into the popular electronics store on Steinway Street off 31st Avenue at around 4:45 p.m., Saturday, cops said.

The group snatched three iPads and a couple of Samsung Galaxy cellphones from a display case and fled, cops said. No injuries were reported.

Cops are asking for the public’s help in finding two men wanted for a robbery in Pelham Bay.

The men entered an unlocked apartment at 3104 Wilkerson Ave., at around 11:30 a.m. June 11, police said. A 24-year-old tenant startled the thieves, who didn’t realize he was home, police said.

The man put up a fight, but the duo still managed to snatch $150, cops added.

Surveillance video shows the robbers sprinting out of the building at breakneck speed.

Both men are believed to be in their 40s and were wearing black gloves and messenger bags, according to police.

One of the robbers has a slim build and the other one is heavyset, according to cops.

That’ll fix him!

An auto-mechanic who squabbled with a co-worker about how to fix a vehicle grabbed the grease monkey by the collar in their Bedford-Stuyvesant shop and threatened to stab him, authorities said.

Kenneth Smith, 37, began arguing with his fellow mechanic inside the Atlantic Avenue business at around 1:25 p.m. Aug. 1, a criminal complaint charges.

Smith reached for a kitchen knife and brandished it while making stabbing motions at the victim, the record states.

The angry wrench-spinner then threw his foe against a wall and pressed the knife to his stomach, according to the court papers.

A friend of the alleged victim dialed 911, and cops busted Smith on charges of menacing, weapons possession and harassment.
