An early-morning burglary on Sutter Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn, turned violent when the burglars found a family of three inside their target home, according to the NYPD.

Around 8 a.m., three suspects ”entered an apartment by pushing through the door,” police said in a statement.

“The suspects then displayed a firearm and bound a 13-year-old female, a 31 year-old female, and a 34-year-old male with duct tape. The suspects proceeded to punch, kick and strike the male victim with their firearm.”

Once the burglars had finished abusing the family, they grabbed all the valuables they could find — jewelry, electronics and $3,500 in cash, according to police.

An ambulance arrived after they had fled and transported the abused father to a nearby hospital. He was listed in stable condition.

NYPD investigators are now asking for the public’s help in tracking down the three men responsible for the brutal break-in. The first suspect is a Hispanic male who was wearing red clothing at the time, police said, and the other two suspects are black males.

The following video, released by police, apparently shows the suspects entering and exiting the apartment building on Sutter Avenue.

Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-8477. All calls are strictly confidential.
