NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A day after four people were tied up at a home in Queens on Friday, police said there was another home invasion in the borough early Saturday in which a man was pistol-whipped and robbed.
The NYPD released video of the man they're searching for in Saturday's home invasion in Rosedale after his alleged accomplice was apprehended at the scene.
Police said the two suspects approached a 50-year-old man as he was walking to his front door near 249th Street and Hook Creek Boulevard around 12:20 a.m.
The duo displayed at least one gun and demanded the man open the door. They then forced him into the home, police said.
Video from outside the home shows the two suspects with the man at the front door.

Once inside the home, one of the suspects struck the victim in the head with a gun. The two of them then stole $400 in cash from a bedroom, according to police.
One of the suspects was able to flee the victim's home through a rear window, but the other was apprehended at the scene, police said.
The NYPD didn't say how severe the victim's injuries were.
The home invasion came a day after two men entered a home in Woodhaven and tied up four people. The two home invasions aren't believed to be connected.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
