Matthew Kosky was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Deputies said Kosky was asleep in his home on Phoenix Avenue when he was awakened about 4 a.m. by a knock at his door.

When Kosky answered the door an unidentified woman asked to use his phone. Kosky went to retrieve his phone when the woman and two unidentified men armed with a handgun forced their way into Kosky’s home and pushed him to the ground. One of them hit Kosky on the head with a blunt object.
