- Graham Rayman

AN EAST VILLAGE woman suffered a terrifying ordeal Thursday when she passed out in an Uber car and the driver took her to his Queens apartment and raped her, police sources said.

The 31-year-old victim called for an Uber at E. 52nd St. and Second Ave. about 2 a.m. She told the 47-year-old driver to take her home and then fell asleep in the car, sources said.

The twisted cabbie took her to his Flushing apartment and raped her while she was still unconsciou­s, sources said.

She woke up, was shocked to realize that she wasn’t home and confronted the driver.

“I used protection — please don’t call police,” he said, according to police sources.

She fled his home and reported what happened to police she found nearby on 41st Road and College Point Blvd.

She told police she had a few drinks before hailing the ride and gave no consent for sex, sources said.

Medics took her to Bellevue Hospital for examinatio­n.

Cops have identified the driver and are trying to locate him, sources said.
