“Superman Robbed My House”

Man answers door to trick-or-treaters, gets robbed

A Long Island man was slugged and his home robbed after he answered his front door to three costumed men -- including one dressed as Superman -- who were pretending to be trick-or-treaters, police said.

The Spanish-speaking robbers forced their way into the man's home on Girard Place in Merrick Friday night and bound him, according to cops. The victim hit in the head and the suspects took off with cash they found inside the home.

After the costumed robbers fled, the victim was able to free himself and go to a neighbor's house for help, police said.
 
The Halloween night home invasion is under investigation. The victim was treated for a minor laceration to the head.
