"They said they're going to kill us," said the 57-year-old homeowner, who asked her name not be published due to safety concerns. "It was scary. It was unexpected."

"I don't like feeling unsafe in my home," she added.

During the 45-minute ordeal, the woman said one of the suspects yelled, "We got the wrong house."

The frightening incident occurred at about 5:40 a.m. inside an upscale home located at 515 Howard Ave., between the campuses of Wagner College and St. John's University.

Police said a 67-year-old man was opening up the garage door to warm up his wife's car to leave for work when he was accosted by the two suspects.

The masked marauders pushed the man into the garage and one of the suspects displayed a knife. The alleged robbers punched the man several times in the face and zip-tied his hands in the garage, authorities said.

The husband had lacerations and bleeding on his left hand and the left side of his face and was taken in stable condition to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton, according to police.

"My husband got hurt a little," said the wife. "They tied up his hands and legs."

One culprit -- described as a Hispanic man -- remained with the 67-year-old victim.

The other robber -- described as a black man -- went into the house and zip-tied the wife and their 26-year-old daughter, police said.

The suspects asked for the car keys before making off with cash and jewelry, the wife said.

They did not take the family's car, according to police.

"I told them take whatever you want," the woman said.

The robbers locked the victims in the bathroom on the second floor just before fleeing the scene, the wife said. The woman and her daughter weren't injured.

"They tied me and my daughter by our hands," she said.

Police said the men stole $2,900 in currency and jewelry before leaving the house in what was believed to be a gray minivan.

Police described the suspects both as wearing all-black clothing and black ski masks. One suspect was described by police as a male Hispanic standing about 5'7" with a medium build and weighing about 200 pounds.

The second suspect was described by police as a black male standing about 5'8" with a slim build and weighing about 160 pounds.

"We're OK now and trying to process what happened," said the wife. "This is my house and they're not going to drive us away."
