Police hope new surveillance video will help detectives track down the man wanted for a violent home invasion in Queens earlier this week.
The NYPD says a man approximately 50 years old broke into a Woodhaven residence on Thursday morning and assaulted a tenant in the process.
According to police, the suspect broke into the home by prying open a window on the rear of the property and sneaking inside around 9:40 a.m. He then found and removed $2,500 in cash from a bedroom in the home.
Police say that's when the victim became aware of the intruder and attempted to approach him. The 33-year-old victim suffered cuts to his face and a number of bruises after the suspect punched and kicked him, police say.
