ROXBOROUGH (WPVI) -- A group of masked men are on the run after allegedly stealing cell phones and $2,000 from an apartment in Philadelphia's Roxborough neighborhood.

The break-in happened around 2:30 a.m. Monday on the 400 block of Domino Lane.

A man there says he was sleeping when he woke up to someone tapping his head and pointing a gun at him.

The victim says the man also threatened his seven-year-old son, who was sleeping in another room.

After grabbing the cash and the phones, they tied the victim's arms behind his back.

He was able to free himself and call 911.
