A suspected illegal immigrant arrested over the rape of a 13-year-old girl in a New York City park was tied to a post and beaten by angry mob who detained him until cops arrived.

Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, 25, was apprehended by a group of vigilantes who spotted a resemblance between him and a wanted poster.

Video shows him cowering behind his hands and attempting to hide under a car as furious locals surround him.

A woman filming screams that she 'beat the s**t out of him' as police arrive on the scene and take him away.

Inga-Landi, 25, approached the girl and a 13-year-old boy she was with brandishing a machete and forced them into a remote area of Kissena Corridor Park, cops said. 

A suspected illegal immigrant arrested over the rape of a 13-year-old girl in a New York City park was tied to a lamp post by angry mob who detained him until cops arrived 

He allegedly tied the teens' wrists together with shoelaces before carrying out the sick assault.

Fox News reports the suspect is an illegal immigrant from Ecuador who entered the US through the southern border three years ago quoting police sources.

He allegedly has several prior low level offenses, including drinking in public and hopping subway turnstiles. 

An image taken after the tussle showed the shirtless suspect being led away by police wearing just one shoe.

The group of locals was led by resident Jeffrey Flores, who told the New York Post he had spotted him hanging around the bodega recently.

The mob apprehended him as he was coming out of the store at around 1am. 

He attempted to escape and hide under a car, but Flores was able to tie him up with a friend's belt.

The suspect was shackled and handcuffed as he was brought out of the 112th precinct 

The attack took place on Thursday around three miles from the Citi Field stadium, in the neighborhood of the victim's school

'It scares me because that could have been my two little sisters, that could have been my daughter,' Flores said. 'I'm not allowing that.' 

'The community was holding our perp,' NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said. 

The attack took place on Thursday around three miles from the Citi Field stadium, in the neighborhood of the victim's school.

The children were approached by a man with a blade and forced into a wooded area, police said.

Following the attack, he made of with their phones but left behind the laces and a water bottle which are being forensically analyzed, CBS reports. 

 Inga-Landi told police that he had a drug problem and had never done anything like this before the attack, ABC7 reports.

Witnesses said that Inga-Landi attempted to flee before police arrived but was tied to the lamppost with a belt

'Between the courageous work of those children, who are scarred for life, and the community this person is off the street,' Chief of Patrol John Chell said.

Inga-Landi now faces multiple charges of rape, kidnap and sex abuse. 

On Monday, community leaders gathered to demand cameras be installed at the park as they handed out wanted fliers advertising a $10,000 reward for information on the culprit. 

The incident has shaken locals and seen the park all but deserted in recent days. 

'It's shocking. This park is usually packed. Parents use this as a holding ground for kids to be picked up,' resident Bernard Chow told CBS.
