(INDIAN HEAD PARK) A girl was cut by a masked intruder during a home invasion last week in southwest suburban Indian Head Park.
About 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a home invasion in the Acacia subdivision, according to Indian Head Park police.
The victim, a girl whose age wasn’t released, told police she was home alone in her upstairs bedroom when she heard noises on the first floor. She went downstairs and saw a man wearing a mask in the kitchen.
The suspect pulled a knife and cut the girl on the right arm, causing a superficial wound, police said. The man then ran away through the backyard.
There were no signs of forced entry, police said. Several agencies searched the area, but the suspect was not found.
He was described as a white man between 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-3, and about 200 pounds, dressed in all black, with a mask covering his nose and mouth, and a stocking cap on his head, police said.
An in-depth interview was conducted with the victim at the Child Advocacy Center of Cook County, police said. The Major Crimes Assistance Team also reviewed 911 tapes, surveillance videos from neighbors and businesses, and canvassed the neighborhood.
