Police release sketch of suspect in northeast home invasion
Police are asking for public assistance to help identify a man who broke into a northeast Calgary home while a woman and her kids were at home.
The incident took place May 21, around 12:40 p.m. on the 100 block of Abadan Crescent N.E., when a woman was awakened by the sound of her dog barking at a man she didn't know standing in her front yard.

An altercation ensued, with the woman suffering a cut on her arm. The suspect fled, while the woman called police.
Police responded but weren't able to locate the man. The woman was treated by EMS.
The suspect is described as approximately 177 cm (5'10"), with an average build. At the time of the attack, he was wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans, brown boots, sunglasses and a baseball cap.
