A teenager was arrested Thursday over the savage stabbing of a Queens mom of three as she was walking to a bus stop — with his own family handing him in, according to cops and sources.

Luis Emmanuel Valencia Ponce, 18, was charged with attempted murder and assault in the terrifying random attack in East Elmhurst -– just blocks from his own home — early Monday, according to the NYPD.

The masked brute was allegedly caught on surveillance video stalking the victim, 29-year-old Lisette Ramales, as she headed to the bus stop at 23rd Avenue and 94th Street just after 6:00 a.m.

Chilling video captured the attacker knifing her several times before calmly walking away.

The bloody knife was recovered from the scene, police said.

The alleged perp was busted after his family recognized him in the surveillance images circulated by cops, sources told The Post.

“He lives in the basement with his dad,” said upstairs neighbor Berelyne Chalas, a 21-year-old medical student.

“He’s very quiet. You know, like an emo kid. He’s always wearing a hoodie. He just minds his own business, very quiet, very reserved.”

“It’s really creepy.”

As police hunted for the attacker, the traumatized young mom underwent treatment at the Elmhurst Hospital Center, where she later told The Post she was “scared to go back home.”

“I was waiting for the light to turn to walk. [While] I was waiting, all of a sudden, the guy slashed me,” she said from her hospital bed.

“I yelled, and he looked like he turned around to go. And then just because I yelled, he did it again.”

The maniac didn’t utter a word during the stabbing frenzy, according to the victim.  

“That’s the weird part. He didn’t say anything,” Ramales said. “He didn’t take anything, my belongings — nothing.”

The mom – whose kids are 3, 11 and 14 – suffered multiple broken ribs as well as stab wounds in the attack.

“Honestly, I’m scared to go back home,” Ramales said. “If I do work, I’m probably just going to go a little later in the day when there’s sunlight.”

The victim insisted she didn’t know her attacker after cops blasted out surveillance images of him.

The teen lives just blocks away from where the attack unfolded, police said.
