CONEY ISLAND, Brooklyn (PIX11) The NYPD on Tuesday shared terrifying video of two alleged thieves forcing their way into a Brooklyn mans apartment before tying his hands and assaulting him, according to police.

Authorities said it happened around noon last Thursday as the 37-year-old victim answered the door of his Coney Island apartment in the vicinity of West 5th Street and Neptune Avenue. Doorbell camera footage showed the scary moment the masked duo rushed at the door and forced their way inside.
