The front door of a Bronx bodega was torn off its hinges by a man police say threatened to hurt the man working inside.

After exiting the store, police said the suspect threw something at the front door that damaged the glass. Then, the man broke the door right off its hinges.
In total, the damage to the bodega was estimated to run $3,500.
