The elderly man, identified in media reports as Anthony Puzio, was first confronted in his home at about 6:15 a.m. on Aug. 22 after an attacker used a ladder propped up against the 101st Street building to get into his second floor window, authorities said. The robber then pistol-whipped the victim, tied him up and let in two accomplices, according to police. The accomplices — a man and a woman — were able to grab a television, cellphone and cash before all three of the crooks fled. In an interview with CBS2, Puzio said he doesn’t “take no crap from nobody” and tried to fight back, but there was nothing he could do. “He started punching, he hit me once over here with a gun and punched me on the side,” Puzio said. “What am I going to do? I’m a 76-year-old man, he’s about 30, maybe.” Two city sanitation workers, Joseph Felicetti and Michael Bermudez, who were collecting trash nearby, freed the victim’s tied hands when he came running out of his home, reports said. “His face was bleeding, his arms were bleeding, it was pretty bad,” Felicetti told the New York Post. “It was like something from a movie set.” The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital with lacerations to the face and bruising. There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing. Cops searching for suspect in chemical attack on woman in LIC Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man responsible for the chemical assault on a woman in Long Island City. The unknown male attacked a 59-year-old woman on Aug. 19 at 5:20 p.m. as she was on Skillman Avenue near 34th Street, cops said. According to authorities, the woman was trying to enter her car when the suspect called to her from behind and asked to speak with her. When she turned around the man threw an unknown substance, which was inside a coffee cup and reportedly acid-like in nature, in her face. The suspect then fled the scene. Responding EMS transported the victim to Cornell Medical Center, where she was treated for third-degree burns on her face and later released.
