Officers were called at about 10:20 p.m. to an apartment complex off 47th Avenue Northeast and Fillmore Street Northeast, directly across from Columbia Heights High School, Highland Elementary School and the Columbia Heights Family Center.
Police said a man "was followed into his residence by two males with the intention of robbery," leading to a struggle that left the man injured. He was transported to a local hospital and is in stable condition as of Saturday morning. The extent of his injuries is unclear.
