TWO INJURED IN HOME INVASION ON 104TH; VICTIMS FIGHT BACK

A man and his girlfriend were injured after two men busted into their home on 104th street and West End Avenue and attacked them, police told the New York Post.

“The suspects got past a doorman and up to the seventeenth floor of a building on West End Avenue near West 104th Street at 4:45 a.m. on Saturday, where they somehow managed to get into the apartment of a 31-year-old man, and his 24-year-old girlfriend, according to police.

A struggled ensued between the suspects and the man inside, and cops said one of the victims may have stabbed one of the would-be-crooks in the gut before the thugs fled in an unknown direction.”

The two assailants were still on the loose later on Saturday.

“Investigators are scouring the area for the thieves, described as two white men, one with a spiked hair, and the other bald.”

maybe more than meets the eye but if everyone did this there would be fewer crimes.

the term ‘home invasion’ leaves often leads readers with a sense of apprehension and vulnerability.

this too short description of events does not make me apprehensive, because it does not sound like a home invasion. the way i understand it, though it might be technically.

though the story might be Post material, i think it is not yet ready for WestSide Rag prime time.

Living across the street I got some of the info of what happened. The 2 guys walked right by the doorman(fill in) with a maglite saying they were police officers. He let them pass and did nothing. As for what happened upstairs we only have the residents word on it atm but supposedly they banged on the door until it was opened(not sure why at 4:45am) and attacked the woman. One of the attackers got stabbed and then they escaped down the back stairs(this is where it gets wierd) with their dog. Instead of calling the cops the woman want downstairs and told the doorman to call them and then somehow recovered her dog from the attackers before they escaped.

It seems scary to me to open the door at 4:45 AM. I wouldn’t do that unless I was absolutely expecting someone and could look through the peephole to verify their identity. A few years ago when I was living on WEA in a non-doorman building, I awoke around 1 AM to someone banging on my door. I asked who it was and they said “police,” and asked me to open the door, but I just had a bad feeling about it. They left when I asked to see badges. Now living in a doorman building, my first thought would be to call the front desk, or–if the situation seemed threatening–to call 911.

this all seems odd… I hope some UWS novelist is inspired by this…

Why “a man and his girlfriend”? Why not “a man and a woman” or “a woman and her boyfriend”?

Probably because the man owned/rented the apartment, and the girlfriend was just staying with him overnight. It was the proper way to write the story.

Something smells about this whole story. Sounds like these weren’t exactly your upstanding citizens. I would be a whole lot less likely to be afraid as soon as those tenants leave.

Banging on the door in the early hours?? Could very well have been the police. Or someone from housing. serving the couple with an eviction!!! That’s what they do!

Sounds like the doorman didn’t do his job.

I smell a lawsuit brewing….unless this was a drug deal retribution or something like that. Definitely something very fishy about this. At least people weren’t shooting each other.
