AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron man woke up to someone pistol-whipping him in the face with his own gun during a home invasion.

The 26-year-old man lost several teeth and suffered broken bones in the attack that happened about 5 p.m. Monday at the man's home in the 1300 block of California Avenue. An ambulance took him to Akron General Medical Center for treatment.

The man told police he was asleep until he realized three men were attacking him. Two repeatedly kicked and punched him while a third pistol-whipped him in the face with a handgun the group found in the man's bedroom, according to police reports.

The gunman demanded money and debit cards. The 26-year-old man refused, prompting another round of kicks, punches and pistol-whippings.

The man said after a while he stayed still. The men then rummaged through his house, grabbing the gun's safe and ammunition before driving off in a white four-door 2006 Pontiac G6.

An 18-year-old man at the home at the time of the burglary told police he ran outside and hid in nearby bushes when he saw the group burst into the home.

Akron police arrived and found the 26-year-old man with a black eye that was swollen shut. He was bleeding from the mouth and had cuts on his chest and back from the beating.

No arrests have been made in the case.
