THE BRONX — A homeless man turned himself in to police Wednesday night, two days after he fatally stabbed a McDonald's manager at the Kingsbridge burger joint, police said.

Rafael Gonzalez, 43, faces charges of murder and manslaughter for stabbing Adam Garcia, 28, NYPD officials said.

Gonzalez had spent eight hours at Garcia's McDonald's at 5765 Broadway when the manager decided to escort him outside about 4:27 a.m., police said.

The two started fighting in the parking lot and Gonzalez stabbed Garcia in the torso before fleeing the scene, police said. 

Garcia, of Riverdale, was pronounced dead at New York-Presbyterian/Allen Hospital, police said.

Gonzalez surrendered to detectives with the 50th Precinct about 11 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
