Sarnia Police are searching for a suspect following an overnight home invasion that sent one victim to hospital.
Police say officers responded to a home invasion in the 300 block of Exmouth Street around 3:15 a.m.
“A male approached the patio of the victim’s residence, smashed the glass door, and entered his apartment,” a news release stated. “The victim was awakened by the commotion at which time he confronted the individual.
“A struggle ensued, in which the victim was kicked, kneed and punched,” police added. “At one point the male smashed a television over the victim’s head. The male fled the residence prior to police arrival; nothing appears to have been taken.”
As a result of the assault, the 46-year-old male victim suffered a large laceration to his head, along with cuts and scrapes to his hands and knees, police said. He was treated at hospital and later released.
The male attacker appears to be tall and has an athletic build. He was wearing a black baseball hat, a grey hoodie-style sweatshirt, black jeans and black shoes. The male also was wearing a distinct array of rings on his right hand.
