A 26-year-old woman was sexually assaulted during a violent home invasion robbery yesterday in the Bronx, police say.

According to the NYPD, at around 1:19 p.m., officers responded to an apartment building on Magenta Street. Hours earlier, the victim had opened her door to two men who claimed they were Con Edison workers and who then shoved their way into her apartment.

Police say that one of the men went into the kitchen to get a knife and the pair tied the woman to a coffee table. Then one man sexually assaulted her before the pair fled with $50.

NBC New York reports, "A next-door neighbor who asked to remain anonymous said she heard the woman scream and cry a few times at about 10 a.m. and then heard it on and off for a few hours. The neighbor said she had no idea what was happening until she walked out of her apartment and heard the woman's pleading for help in a whisper. "

The neighbor said, "I said, 'I'm here, mami, come to the door, open.' And she was like, 'That's the problem, I can't. I'm bound, I was tied up.'"

Neighbors also reportedly heard the victim's toddler daughter crying.

The investigation is ongoing.
