A city man was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with trying to rape a woman in Manhattan's East Village over the weekend.

Police believe Imre Meszesan, 35, was caught on surveillance video following the victim into her apartment on First Avenue Sunday morning.

The victim was knocked to the ground as she entered her building.

Investigators say the suspect tried to rape her but ran away when a neighbor walked in.

Meszesan is facing charges of attempted rape and burglary.
