EAST HARLEM — A victim of a home-invasion robbery duct taped alongside three other victims managed to break free of his restraints and scare off the robbers by climbing out the window, police said.
The victim was with three other people at 208 E. 117th St. Thursday morning when two men and a woman knocked on their door and pushing their way inside, shoving a 50-year-old man to the ground, police said.
“Don’t move or I’ll shoot you,” one of the suspects shouted at the victim, before they bound his hands with tape, police said.
A 27-year-old victim somehow managed to free himself from the tape and climbed out the window, standing on a ledge outside. The escape was enough to spook the robbers, who ran out of the building with two cell phones and $80, police said.
No arrests have been made.
