NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – The NYPD is searching for a man who they say broke into a Queens home this week before stealing cash and beating a man who confronted him.
Police released video of a suspect Saturday after Thursday’s home invasion in Woodhaven.
Police said a man forced his way into a home at Jamaica Avenue and 88th Street by prying through a rear window around 9:40 a.m.
Once inside, the man stole $2,500 in cash from a bedroom, according to police.
When a 33-year-old man confronted him, he was punched and kicked by the home invader, who then fled, police said.
The victim suffered bruises and a laceration to his face. He was taken to an area hospital by EMS.
Police believe the suspect is about 50 years old.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
