Woman is cut during KC home invasion
A Kansas City woman was cut on the leg early Tuesday after a knife-wielding man broke into her home.
Police said the incident occurred just before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 5800 block of Thompson Avenue.
The victim told police that she heard a noise, went to investigate and found a man armed with a knife standing in her kitchen.
He demanded money, but the woman ran instead to her daughter’s bedroom to make sure she was OK. The man slashed her leg just above the knee before fleeing the home.
Police said that the woman’s injury was not serious and that she declined medical treatment.
