Three armed thugs beat, bound and robbed a Washington Heights couple last night, cops said.
The trio busted into the 173rd St. apartment around 9 p.m., pistol-whipped Camilo Fernandez, 66, and tied up him and his wife, Josefina, 64, with a belt, police sources and a relative said.
The woman was also hit in the head, a relative added.
Two of the suspects were packing guns, cops said. A relative said the bandits made off with cash, jewelry and an iPhone.
Frank Fernandez, the couple’s son, came to check on them when they didn’t answer their phones.
“My mom was tied up. My dad was on the floor,” he said.
The couple owns a grocery store across the street from their apartment.
Camilo was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital with minor injuries, authorities said.
