83-Year-Old Dies After Mugging In Own Home

An 83-year-old man who was badly hurt during an assault and robbery inside his Greenwich Village home battled for two weeks in the hospital before succumbing to his injuries, police said.

Joseph Sibilla was pronounced dead Tuesday evening as a result of the injuries he suffered during the April 29 attack at his home on West 12th Street. On that April day, police responded to a 911 call of a man assaulted and found Sibilla, beaten and in serious condition. His wallet had been stolen.

Emergency personnel rushed Sibilla to Beth Israel Hospital, but he would ultimately not survive. No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

Neighbors of the beloved Sibilla, affectionately known as “Joe” in his Greenwich Village neighborhood, hope the attacker is caught soon.
