An 18-year-old woman fought off two thieves in her Fordham apartment, law-enforcement sources said.
She was alone in her Decatur Avenue home at about 10 a.m. Tuesday when a man knocked on her door and asked if someone named Allen lived there, sources said.
When she said no, he grabbed her, held her arms behind her back and put his hand over her mouth.
His accomplice ran into the home and began ransacking it.
The woman struggled with the guy restraining her, bit his hand and screamed.
The thieves fled with nothing taken from the home, sources said.

The teller didn’t comply, and the would-be thief fled.
Police say the suspect is in his late 30s, 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds. He wore a black, waist-length jacket, a dark baseball cap, black jeans and white sneakers, sources added.
