NYPD rescues family of 7 from home invasion in Queens, New York
SUMMARY
The NYPD successfully rescued a family of seven from a terrifying home invasion in Queens, New York, early Saturday morning. Authorities responded to a call around 2 a.m. from the Douglaston area, where they encountered a woman fleeing the home with a baby in her arms. The woman informed officers that three armed suspects were still inside, holding her family members hostage, including elderly parents and young children. The intruders reportedly wielded guns and hammers, terrorizing the family. A 43-year-old man was struck on the foot with a hammer, and a 71-year-old woman was punched in the face, though both declined medical attention. The suspects escaped with cash but were quickly located and arrested after police deployed drones to track them down. The NYPD has not yet disclosed the motive behind the invasion, and charges are pending.
