Perv dies in car crash while fleeing from cops 1 day after he kidnapped and molested 9-year-old girl

A sicko with a long rap sheet abducted a 9-year-old girl from a Queens supermarket and sexually assaulted her in a car — and then died the next day when he crashed while fleeing cops, authorities said.

Wayne Noel, 64, was killed Friday afternoon when he zoomed away from detectives and T-boned another car less than a mile from the Key Food where he had kidnapped and brutalized the girl, according to police and footage of the smash-up.

“He got his just rewards if he’s dead,” said Beulah Wilson, 77, a retired insurance worker from Middle Village. “He can’t molest anyone else again.”

Noel’s twisted crime spree began when he approached the young victim inside a Key Food store at 213th Street and Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village around 7:20 p.m., while her grandma was in the bathroom, according to Jason Savino, Assistant Chief at the NYPD’s Detective Bureau.

“At this point, the subject approaches our very vulnerable survivor and makes a statement to the effect, ‘Get in front of me’ and then grabs her hair and forcefully leads her outside the store,” Savino said.

“The subject then pushes her inside his own vehicle and drives to a nearby area and sexually assaults this young survivor.”

A Good Samaritan “who was swiftly passing by,” briefly interrupted the attack and caused Noel to flee in his car, Savino added.

“As a response, the subject cowardly drives away and parks once again in close proximity right back again in that Key Food store area and once again sexually assaults our survivor,” he said.

He then dumped her on the street, the police official said.

“That survivor will never be the same,” Savino said.

Hours later, around 12:30 p.m., Noel was driving the same car when he got into a smash-up with a Jeep Cherokee at 90th Avenue and 212st Street, about a half mile away, sources said.

The girl was taken by EMS to a local hospital for treatment, police said.

The NYPD  released photos of the perv, described as having a dark complexion and heavy build — who wore a blue MTA hat, clear glasses, pink shirt and blue jeans at the time of the attack.

Despite donning an MTA hat, he has no connection to the MTA and never worked there, according to a spokesperson for the MTA.

Noel was back on the streets — and driving the same car — around 12:30 p.m. Friday when detectives spotted him and tried to pull him over at 212th Street and Hillside Avenue, Savino said.

But he refused to stop and barreled through a stop sign, striking a red Jeep Grand Cherokee, cops and sources said.

The fleeing sex fiend was taken to the hospital, where he died, Savino said.

“That same subject has since been identified as our perpetrator for the horrific sexual assault,” the official said.

Noel has four prior arrests — the most recent in 2022 for a robbery on Queens Boulevard.

“The fact pattern is very similar to this, in that he approached a female and attempted to grab her, forcefully took that victim into the vehicle and drove in the vehicle,” Savino said. “Fortunately enough, that female was able to get out of the vehicle. He also brandished a knife during that encounter.”

His other arrests were for criminal possession of stolen property in 2005, driving without a license in 1997 and burglary in 1994, law enforcement sources said.

At the scene hours after the crash, the Honda Civic’s front windshield and bumper were smashed in. The Jeep could be seen on the sidewalk.

“It saved the guys in prison a job,” Wilson said. “In prison, you know what they do to child molesters, so I am not sorry for him. If he did what they accused him of, he got his just rewards.”

“Ever hear of karma?” added her husband, Cameron Wilson.

Neighbor Michelle Sanders, 68, said she’d frequently see the perv in the building’s laundromat.

“I would try to interact with him because I’m a friendly person and he wouldn’t say anything,” Sanders said. “It would be like quick answers and just continue doing what he was doing but his facade was like don’t bother me, leave me alone. [He] was very quiet.”

“He was very, very quiet.”

A neighbor named Priya, who lives next to the crash scene, called the suspect’s death a case of “street justice gone good.”

“The poor girl got justice,” Priya said.
