Surveillance video captured the fiend who sexually assaulted and robbed a 35-year-old jogger at Fort Tryon Park in Inwood over the weekend, cops said Sunday.

The footage shows the black-clothed, hooded suspect fleeing Saturday’s scene on a scooter and heading south on Riverside Drive, said the NYPD, which also released a photo of the perv.

Lettering on the back of the man’s hooded sweatshirt reads, “Honor Thy Gift.”
