The victim was driven to a Chase bank, where he withdrew $1,800 that were taken by the suspect, police told the station.
As of Thursday, the suspect, described as a 20- to 30-year-old man with a dark complexion, has not been identified.
The victim -- whom CBS NY says they have spoken with -- is reported to have escaped the incident unharmed.
The man told the station that he tried to put up a fight after allegedly being confronted inside his home.
“I was hoping I could hurt him enough so I could get through the door, and yell and call, ask somebody to help me, but he was too young and too strong," he told CBS NY.
