A robber broke into a Collingswood home Sunday afternoon, attacked a resident and tied up another person before setting the house on fire, authorities aid.

The attacker remains at large and is described as a thin, dark-skinned man with a short beard and dark hair. He was wearing a yellow winter heat with a yellow and black zip-up sweatshirt, authorities said.

The robber broke into the home on the 200 block of Crestmont Terrace just before 2:30 p.m. and attacked one of residents while demanding money, authorities said. A second person was bound and the robber set the house on fire before fleeing, authorities said.

Firefighters who arrived to fight the blaze found the two people inside. The condition of the injured person was not disclosed by authorities.
