BUSHWICK — A man was arrested Tuesday evening for the home invasion and gunpoint rape of a sleeping woman in late July, police said.

"Do you want me to rape you or kill you?" Romaric Guiebre asked the terrified victim, police sources said, after he'd broken into her home near Dekalb and Wilson avenues on July 25 at around 1:30 a.m.

Guiebre, who lives near Broadway Junction, then raped the woman at gunpoint and stole her bank card, police and prosecutors said. Later he allegedly took out $400 dollars cash from an ATM.

Nearly a month after the crime, investigators tracked Guiebre down and charged him with assault, burglary, grand larceny, criminal sexual act and weapons possession, though police wouldn't say what had tipped them off.

Guiebre, who's never before arrested in New York and does not have a state prison record, was awaiting arraignment as of Wednesday afternoon.

No information about his attorney was available immediately.
