YAKIMA, Wash. -- A Yakima man was treated for injuries on his arms and body at a local hospital after dealing with an intruder at his home Friday morning.
Just before 9 a.m., Stanley Johnson was at his home in the 1400 block of Swan Avenue when someone knocked on his door. When Johnson answered the door, the suspect entered and demanded money, threatening him with a knife, according to a news release from the Yakima Police Department.
Johnson tried to protect himself by using a sword he keeps in the living room, but the suspect disarmed him. The pair continue to struggle, leading to cuts on Johnson's arms and body.
The suspect then forced Johnson to go to the basement. The suspect left a few minutes later and Johnson called a third party, who called police.
Johnson described the suspect as an adult male with a darker complexion in his mid 20s, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and about 160 pounds, according to officials.
