Intruders attack, rob 2 men in home

Two Bloomington men reported they were robbed and attacked by four or five male intruders in their home early Sunday morning.\nThe victims reported that the perpetrators entered through the back door of their home on the 1200 block of North Washington Street at about 2 a.m. and assaulted them, said Bloomington Police Department Captain Joe Qualters, reading from the police report. Officers met with the victims at Bloomington Hospital. According to the report, one of the residents, 22, suffered dislocated shoulder, while the other resident, 23, had small lacerations, swelling to his face and a cut on his ankle.\nQualters said the victims reported that upon entry, the men immediately tackled the 22-year-old resident and demanded he hand over anything of value. The confrontation was quickly followed by one of the suspects taking out his knife and cutting the other resident's ankle, according to the victims' police statements.\nQualters said the 23-year-old resident gave the alleged burglars his jacket, which contained $40 in cash. After grabbing the jacket, the victims said both of the men fled from the scene.\nQualters said the two victims were unable to give detailed descriptions of the men, saying only that they were white, in their late 20s, "scraggly-looking" and wearing jeans and jackets.\nThe case is currently under investigation by BPD.
