</span>After being taken down a trapdoor into the basement by the four assailants, one of the men proceeded to beat the 49-year-old with the butt end of a rifle, the <a class="class" href="https://nypost.com/2019/09/12/bronx-bodega-basement-captive-faced-hellish-torture-prosecutors/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">New York Post</a> reported.<br />
