According to a police report from the Savannah Police Department, it happened Saturday morning on the 500 block of Price Street. Two men approach the home. After a few moments, they force their way in and a commotion can be heard inside.
After they leave, the victim is heard yelling for help.
Officers responded around 8:30 a.m. to find the front door of the home ajar and the victim covered in blood.
The 66-year-old victim told police that he heard a knock at the door, looked out and saw two men “which appeared to be from Amazon based on their clothing, holding a box.”
When he opened the door, he told police, he was attacked and assaulted.
