Home Invasion Connected To Rockwood Park Beating

Police are confirming that a home invasion on the city's west side is connected to a beating in Rockwood Park.

At around 11 o'clock Saturday night,  4 masked men forced their way into a home on City Line and robbed a 55 year old man.

Shortly after, a beaten man was found in Rockwood Park.  Police say the victim of the beating was also the victim of the robbery.

He was taken to hospital and later released.

The case has been turned over to the Major Crime Unit.

Meantime,  A 15 year old boy is looking at a charge of assault with a weapon after a 14 old girl's hair was set on fire at Simonds High. 

Police say there was just minor damage to the hair and she did not suffer any burns.
