A man entered a home in the vicinity of Broadway at approximately 11:25 p.m. and demanded cash and credit cards from the residents, an elderly couple. The man displayed a small knife and slashed the female resident causing lacerations to her left arm and hand. He also punched the male resident several times in the chest.
