Early Sunday morning, a man broke into a south Windsor residence and attacked a woman in her home.

Police responded to the break-in shortly before 3 a.m. in the 3300 block of Askin Avenue.

The adult woman was asleep when an unknown man entered her home and assaulted her. She fought back and after a brief struggle, the suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction.

The assault resulted in minor physical injuries of the victim. Police, assisted by a K9 unit, searched the area but haven’t located the suspect.

The incident is believed to be targeted and isolated, and investigators are asking for any dashcam or home surveillance footage between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.
