Cops have nabbed the heartless man who allegedly stole $70 from a blind woman and her daughter, authorities said on Thursday.

Abdelhafid Meliani, 52, was apprehended by MTA Police at Penn Station in Midtown on Wednesday, the Port Authority Police Department said.

He was busted after an officer recognized him from the news, according to an MTA source.

Cops allege Meliani snatched cash from the blind woman’s wallet as her 10-year-old daughter counted money at around 12:15 p.m. last Friday at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Police had released surveillance footage showing a bearded suspect wearing an oversized blue-and-white sweatshirt, a khaki jacket and jeans entering the subway and jumping the turnstile.

The Port Authority Sergeants Benevolent Association and Port Authority Detectives Endowment Association donated $140 to the disabled woman so she wouldn’t be without cash, WCBS 880 radio reported on Thursday.

Meliani was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court Thursday evening.
