Ann Arbor police are looking for a break-in suspect who fled when the homeowner scared him off early Friday morning, officials said.
Officers were called to a residence in the 1700 block of South University Avenue at 12:40 a.m. Friday for a home invasion, said Ann Arbor police Detective Dan Iverson.
A man told police the suspect forced his way through the front door while he and two other family members were asleep in the home.
“They heard the intruder,” Iverson said.
The suspect made his way to the bedroom area of the home where he encountered the resident.
“(The resident) struggled with the suspect, and the suspect fled on foot," Iverson said.
There were no reported injuries.
The suspect was last seen walking west on South University towards Washtenaw Avenue. Police attempted to track the man with a K-9 unit, but did not find him.
The suspect was described as a black male, 30-40 years old, 5 foot 8 inches to 5 foot 10 inches tall and 160-180 pounds. He had short cropped hair and was wearing dark colored clothing, Iverson said.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Iverson at (734) 794-6930, ext. 49321, or email him at diverson@a2gov.org.
