A 63-year-old city man was hospitalized in critical condition after he was beaten and robbed in the basement of his Windsor Road home Thursday morning, officials said.
The robbery occurred about 12:45 a.m. when the victim returned home from his liquor store in New York City, police Capt. C. Kenneth Tinsley said. Police declined to identify the victim.
The victim’s wife had heard a noise downstairs and thought it was her husband coming home from work; she went downstairs when she heard a second noise and didn’t hear him call out to her, Tinsley said.
“She went to the basement and saw her husband bleeding, and his hands were handcuffed. He was incoherent and was bleeding from the nose,” Tinsley said. The victim had been struck on the head with a blunt object.
“We don’t have any information as to how many suspects we are dealing with right now,” Tinsley said.
Tinsley added that police have not been able to talk to the victim, who was being treated at Englewood Hospital on Thursday.
Police were investigating whether the victim was followed home from New York City, Tinsley said, adding that two gold rings and a brown briefcase were stolen. It was unclear what was in the briefcase, or whether anything else in the house was stolen, he said.
