SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – A 34-year-old man was hospitalized this morning with serious wounds he suffered in a violent home invasion robbery in Ocean Beach and the suspects were at-large.

The victim was with a woman at his home in the 4900 block of Cape May Avenue at 10 p.m. Friday when the woman answered a knock at the door and two men, one carrying an expandable baton and the other armed with a knife, forced their way inside and ordered the victim to the floor, according to Sgt. Michael Tansey of the San Diego Police Department.



The victim began to fight with the two suspects and was beaten several times with the metal baton, Tansey said.
