More than 30 dirty videos were found on a cellphone belonging to a 20-year-old man arrested earlier this week for allegedly filming them inside a men’s bathroom at Principe Park in Maspeth, authorities said.

Prosecutors said Jonathan Manarang allegedly snapped the creepy pics at the park’s comfort station in the vicinity of Maurice and 54th avenues sometime before 3:05 p.m. on Oct. 25.

According to the criminal complaint provided by the Queens District Attorney’s office, police were alerted after an eyewitness spotted Manarang following men into and out of the bathroom. Between his trips, Manarang allegedly waited on a nearby park bench.

When the witness went inside the bathroom to relieve himself at a urinal, police said, he observed Manarang allegedly standing atop a toilet seat in the adjacent stall with his cellphone out and pointed at the urinal.

Officers from the 104th Precinct were called to the park and recovered Manarang’s phone, which was found to have 30 videos of men using the same urinal.

Manarang was charged with second-degree unlawful surveillance and released on $1,000 cash bail following his arraignment on Oct. 26, according to court records. He is scheduled to return to court on Dec. 14.
