THE MAN ACCUSED of beating a Queens woman and putting her in the hospital copped to the alleged crime, prosecutor­s said Thursday.

Ronald Williams, 21, told detectives he punched the 52-year-old mom of two and pushed her down stairs near the Dara Gardens complex on Kissena Blvd. in Pomonok at 8:30 a.m.

“I wasn’t going to rape her,” he said, according to prosecutor Laura Dorfman. “I was only going to rob her. I don’t know how her pants came off. I black out and get angry sometimes.”

The beating left the victim’s face almost unrecogniz­able. She had to be placed on a ventilator. She also had to have eye surgery.

He was returned to the city on Thursday and arraigned in Queens. He was dressed all in red with a black vest. He did not speak during in court.

Dorfman noted that Williams has “no ties to the community.”

“He is unemployed and his last place of residence was a homeless shelter that he has been kicked out of because he has failed to show up for several days,” she said.

He is charged with assault, unlawful imprisonme­nt and sex abuse, according to the court records.

Williams has an open assault case in the Bronx stemming from a March 2017 attack in which he masturbate­d in front of a woman and tried to grab her purse, Dorfman said.

After that incident, Williams told cops that “he was sorry and that he was going to kill himself so he wouldn’t have to go back to jail,” according to the prosecutor.
