A Long Island woman who expected trick-or-treaters when she answered Halloween night doorknock instead was assaulted by armed thugs in a home invasion robbery, police said.
Four armed, masked men and one woman pushed their way into the home on Beach Street in Farmingdale home when a 34-year-old woman opened her door.
The thugs demanded the family sit down. When the woman’s 48-year-old man refused, the thugs repeatedly pistol-whipped him, said cops.
The robbers bound the couple’s hands and feet with duct tape, ransacked the house and fled, said cops.
Soon after the thugs left the woman was able to free her hands and call 911.
The 48-year-old man was rushed to an area hospital, where he was treated for cuts on his head.
The couple’s 2-year-old son, who was in the home the whole time, was unharmed.
The male suspects, one of whom was wearing a werewolf mask, are all believed to be about 5-foot-9 and 180 to 200 pounds.
Their female accomplice had a thin build, an Afro-style haircut and was wearing a pair of goggles.
Police said it wasn’t immediately clear what was taken during the crime.
