The man accused of stabbing a bodega worker who had asked him and a group of others to move away from the upper Manhattan storefront turned himself in to police Saturday, police said.

Jose Paniagua, 18, handed himself over to authorities at the 34th Precinct station house in Inwood, cops said.

He was charged with murder, gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon for the Wednesday night attack, police said.

Paniagua allegedly knifed 28-year-old Mohamed Nasser Awawdah to death around 8 p.m. Wednesday — after Awawdah, who had been working at his family’s Dyckman Kwik Stop, asked a group of men, including his attacker, to stop loitering in front of the bodega, cops said.

He has no prior, unsealed arrests under his belt, police said.
