The man also implied other people had broken in with him, according to police
After sexually assaulting the woman, the man stole some of her belongings – including her PlayStation and her keys – and fled through the back door.
Police had only a vague description of the man, who had tattoos on his face, and was wearing a black mask.
Area 3 detectives were investigating.
Neighbors said they had no idea this happened in their neighborhood, but after finding out they said it's concerning.
"I do live in this area, but I didn't hear any noises or anything in the area, but I guess police must have came," Sully Faruki said. "I hope that lady that got assaulted recovers with what she's gone through."
One woman said he's considering moving out of the area after the attack.
