A 78-year-old man was assaulted by one of four robbers who kicked in the door of his home in the Sunset District of San Francisco, took his money and ransacked his residence, police said Wednesday.

The home-invasion robbery occurred between 10 and 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday at the victim’s house on the 400 block of Noriega Street, near 11th Avenue, police said. Once the bandits forced their way into the home, they demanded the victim fork over money.

Despite giving them cash, one of the robbers hit the victim, police said. The suspects then ransacked his house and fled the scene.

The victim was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said.

No arrests were made as of Wednesday. Police did not release detailed descriptions of the robbers.
