THE BRONX, N.Y. -- (WPIX) -- A Bronx family was tied up at knifepoint during an afternoon home invasion by two men who posed as UPS workers, police said Tuesday.

Two men knocked on an apartment door and said they were UPS workers, police said.
A 20-year-old woman opened the door, and the two men forced their way inside the apartment.
One of the men placed a knife to the victim's stomach, forced her to the floor and tied her up, according to police.
The robbers also tied up two other people in the apartment, a 22-year-old female and a 64-year-old male, before they made their way into a 27-year-old male victim's room, police said.
Inside of the room, police said the men stabbed the 27-year-old one time in the right thigh and tied him up.
