A career criminal with 14 previous arrests was once again nabbed over the weekend for allegedly raping a woman and threatening to kill her.
Jamel McIver, 30, is accused of following a 21-year-old woman into her building, located near West 65th Street and West End Avenue in the Upper West Side at around 1am Saturday.
Once inside, cops say, he forced the woman into a stairwell where he carried out the rape and threatened her life before fleeing on foot.
He was turned in by his own family members on Sunday, the New York Post reports, and was arraigned on Monday on charges of rape, sexually motivated burglary and criminal sex act.
McIver was ordered to remain in prison as the trial against him continues.

Authorities allege that McIver followed the 21-year-old victim into a building at around 1.20am, and entered an elevator with her.
He then allegedly 'forced her out of the elevator and into a stairwell where he raped her,' before pushing the woman back outside and fleeing the area on foot.
'He basically made threats to her that he was going to kill her if she didn't comply,' a police spokesman told the Post.
In the aftermath, the unidentified woman was brought to a local hospital in stable condition.
Surveillance video captured outside the woman's residence — as well as inside the stairwell itself — showed the suspected attacker directly after the attack.
