A crew of youthful-looking burglars has focused on two houses in Queens for a series of bold actions – including assaulting a resident with a hammer and knifing him, according to police.

The nine invaders – all wearing face masks and many in winter jackets as seen in video footage shared by the NYPD – forced their way into a residence on 147th Place in Flushing at approximately 1 a.m. on Sunday by smashing the front window with a hammer, officials reported.

Once inside, they bludgeoned a 37-year-old man and knifed him in the back, police said. 

They swooped up jewelry and clothing before bolting in a gray Toyota Sienna, cops said. 

The victim was taken to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

The footage depicts the aggressive group — who seem to be adolescents — on the step of the property, with one holding a hammer and the other holding a knife, amid snow flurries.

Their first heist came only hours into 2025, when they allegedly targeted another home on the same street around 3 a.m. New Year’s Day, authorities said. 

They broke a living room window to make their way inside, where cops say they grabbed about $25,000 and a bracelet. 

They then made their escape in a gray vehicle.

No one was hurt in that incident.

The NYPD is now asking for help tracking down the suspects. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). 

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at or on X @NYPDTips.
