A gang of baby-faced robbers targeted two homes in Queens, including hitting and stabbing two brazen residents with hammers, police said.
Authorities said nine intruders broke into a home at 147 Flushing around 1 a.m. Sunday and gained entry by breaking a front window with a hammer. In footage released by the NYPD, everyone was seen wearing face masks and most were wearing winter coats.
Once inside, they beat the 37-year-old man and stabbed him in the back with a knife, police said.
Police said they raided jewelry and clothing before getting into a gray Toyota Sienna.
The victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
The footage shows the violent crew, believed to be teenagers, on the stoop of a house, one clutching a hammer and the other a knife, as snow falls.
The first robbery took place just hours into 2025, when authorities said they targeted another home on the same street around 3 a.m. on New Year's Day.
The two broke in by breaking a living room window, and police said they made off with about $25,000 and a bracelet.
They then fled in a gray car.
No one was injured in the incident.
The NYPD is currently asking for help tracking down the suspect.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
