The NYPD released home security camera video of a home invasion and robbery in which six family members, including two children, were zip-tied inside their house in Queens overnight Friday.
The investigation revealed that the station attendant attempted to stop an alleged shoplifter at the station s convenience store, which escalated to a confrontation outside where the suspect stabbed him in the neck with a knife.
The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Harlin Rodriguez, initially fled the scene but was located a short time later with the assistance of Carteret Police Department.
He was apprehended and is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, and robbery.
