Santa Monica detectives reported finding a female resident suffering from multiple stab wounds and lacerations. She was treated by paramedics at the scene before being transported to a hospital, where authorities said she was undergoing surgery but remained in stable condition.
Investigators said a man forced his way into the apartment while the victim was asleep. He then allegedly took a knife from the kitchen and asked for money and property.
The man then stabbed the woman in the arm and jumped on top of her, police said. The victim was able to fight off the man, who then fled through the front door.
The assailant, believed to have sustained a significant cut on his hand, remained at large. Authorities described him as a black, 25- to 30-year-old man wearing a red beanie and dark-colored, camouflage sweatpants.
Anyone with information could call the Santa Monica Police Department at 310-458-8491.
