ASTORIA — One of the two burglars suspected of attacking a man at gunpoint in his apartment, striking him with the gun and robbing him was arrested Monday, police said.
Adamou Maikarfi, 33, punched the 32-year-old victim in the face near 31st Avenue and 30th Drive and stole his cellphone, wallet and cash shortly after 1 a.m on April 7, police said.
The other suspect, who is still at large, struck the victim in the back of the head with the butt of the gun, prosecutors charge.
The unidentified suspect then held the victim at gunpoint while Maikarfi ransacked the apartment, making off with the man's cash, car keys, cell phone, wallet and autographed baseballs, according to the complaint.
Maikarfi, 33, was arrested on Monday and was charged with robbery, burglary and assault. Attempts to reach his defense attorney were not immediately successful Friday.
Police are still looking for his accomplice, who is described as being about 6-feet-2 and 210 pounds. He was seen wearing a blue hoodie with white stripes along the arms, according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
