The incident occurred in Norwalk around 4:30 a.m., Saturday, June 15.

According to Lt. Tomasz Podgorski of the Norwalk Police, the woman told officers she woke up and found a man standing in her home. 

The man attempted to take the woman's phone as she tried to call 911 and then fled the scene prior to patrol officers’ arrival, Podgorski said.
