A woman was sexually assaulted and robbed in the Bronx by two men claiming to be Con Edison workers on Monday, cops said.

Police said they responded to a call about a robbery on Magenta Street in Gun Hill just after 1:15 p.m. Authorities said that two men knocked on an apartment door and identified themselves as Con Edison workers. A 26-year-old woman opened the door, and the men pushed their way inside the apartment.

Then, one man tied the victim down to a coffee table while the other grabbed a knife, police said.

The woman was sexually assaulted and robbed of cash before the two men fled the scene, they said.

The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police described the two suspects as men in their 20s who are believed to be about 5-foot-6-inches. No arrests have been made.
