The victim was transported to Valley Presbyterian.
On Sunday, police took a report of a burglary. The crime occurred at 9:30 a.m. in the 7200 block of Matilija Avenue. The victim and his daughter were at home when the daughter heard noises near a window. She told her father, who came into the living room, as the suspect entered the house through the unlocked front door. The suspect looked at the victims and said he was looking for someone else and fled in unknown direction. When the victim looked outside the house, he found the screen to a window had been pried off the frame.
