Sketch of man suspected in Mount Clemens break-in and assault.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI -- Macomb County sheriff's officials on Monday released a sketch of a man they believe broke into a Clinton Township home Friday morning and beat a woman unconscious with his gun.

After driving her children to school, the 36-year-old woman returned to her home on the 500 block of Clinton River Drive in Mount Clemens. Her husband left for work about 8:30 a.m., and ten minutes later she heard someone kick in the front door, sheriff's officials said.

She came downstairs and confronted the man, who was armed with a handgun.

"She said she was struck at least two times in the head with this handgun and was rendered unconscious," Macomb County sheriff's officials say. "When she awoke she noticed that her cellular telephone was smashed and she drove herself to her parent's home in the City of Eastpointe."

She was transported to a Detroit hospital for treatment and her father went to the woman's home to meet sheriff's deputies who opened and investigation.

The suspect is described as a black man in his 20s, about 5-foot-10 with a medium build, who was wearing a black Carhartt-style coat and black work boots.

The motive for the home invasion hasn't been revealed. It's not clear if robbery was involved.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, 586-307-9412.
