A 63-year-old Flushing man has been assaulted and robbed twice within a month inside his own apartment, police said.
The latest robbery took place inside his Kissena Boulevard and Beech Avenue apartment after the suspect broke in on July 7 at around 11:30 a.m., police said.
The suspect soon realized that the victim was home and threw him to the ground. He then slashed the victim on the arm with a knife.
The suspect hurried out of the apartment and took off on foot, carrying the victim’s wallet and other personal belongings. The wallet contained various ID cards but no money, police said.
