NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD released video footage on Tuesday of a man who pretended to be a UPS employee in a violent home invasion robbery in Brooklyn earlier this month, authorities said.

Once inside, the suspect removed a PlayStation 4, iPhone 11, and jewelry before fleeing on foot to parts unknown.
The victim was taken to Kings County Hospital for his injuries and was listed in stable condition.
The value of the property removed is approximately $3,200.
