That’s when, Baul said, the suspect threw the man down, hitting him several times, and threw his phone down the hallway so the victim could not call police.

“If you’re going to talk to them, talk through your door. If you have a storm door, don’t unlock it. Talk through the door that way they can’t get in and keep the door locked. If they’re walking around and they don’t have anything, most people don’t do door-to-door right now especially with the internet, be careful,” he said.

The victim sustained some injuries to his face. He went to the hospital to get check out. He will be okay.
