Officers arrived at the scene a short time later and spoke with the victim, a 43 year old Hamilton parish man, who stated that at 7am that day he was in his room when he heard a loud banging at the door. He went to the door, opened it and saw an unknown man standing in the doorway, brandishing a bladed article. The suspect forced his way into the room demanding money and a struggle ensued. The suspect eventually made good his escape on foot, empty handed. The victim sustained superficial cuts to his head, back and lacerations to the fingers of his right hand as a result. He was taken to KEMH via ambulance for treatment. The suspect is described as a brown skinned male, approximately 6 tall of medium build, clean shaven with a low haircut.
