The suspects apparently demanded money and beat the man with their weapons, he told police. Eventually, they broke into a small safe containing cash and a small amount of marijuana. They handcuffed the victim and pushed him to the floor before fleeing.

The man told police he managed to work his way back to his feet and out the door. A neighbor saw him on the lawn around 1 p.m., three hours after the initial attack.

The suspected were described as two men in their mid-30s, about 5'10" tall with long dreads, and a muscular build.
