A TWISTED X-ray technician has been busted for groping two female patients — one of them 83 years old — at Kings County Hospital, the Daily News has learned.

Larry Jones, 65, was cuffed late Saturday for sexually assaulting the victims in an X-ray room at the cityrun hospital in Brooklyn.

The 83-year-old woman told police that she went to the emergency room at the hospital on Saturday to have X-rays of an arm and a knee taken, sources said.

There, at about 12:30 p.m., she was brought to a room where Jones was slated to take the X-rays.

Jones and the woman were alone when he took an initial photograph and then moved in to reposition her legs, sources said.

He then yanked off her underwear and assaulted her, sources said.

The creep then put the woman on a gurney and wheeled her back to the emergency room, sources said.

She notified a clerk, who contacted an administra­tor and then the hospital’s police, sources said.

Jones allegedly assaulted the second victim, a 57-year-old woman, in a similar manner at about 5:30 p.m.

The perv, who has been living in a homeless shelter, has been arrested eight times before, officials said. He had been worked at the hospital since 2003, and had a radiology certificat­ion. Three of his previous arrests are sealed and none involved sex crimes, officials said.

He was arraigned Sunday and ordered held on $7,500 bail, court records show. Hospital officials fired Jones after his arrest. “We are committed to the safety of our patients, have zero tolerance for such behavior and consider this a very serious allegation,” a spokespers­on said.
