A Great Neck Plaza man on Tuesday was assaulted and robbed at his Clent Road home by a man who pretended he was delivering flowers, Nassau County Police said.
The unidentified 34-year old victim answered the door at about 1:52 p.m. after the suspect, described as a 5’9” white man between 20-30 years old, rang the doorbell, police said.
The victim was tasered and struck on the head with a glass vase, police said, and began to fight with the robber.
The victim stopped fighting after he noticed the robber was carrying a black handgun, police said, and was then tied by his hands and feet by his assailant.
The robber then cracked open a hallway safe and stole an undetermined amount of money, diamond jewelry, passports and assorted paperwork, police said.
The victim called 911 and was transferred to a local hospital for head trauma and facial fractures, police said.
Police said anyone with additional information should call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
