PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say a man armed with a knife crawled through the window of a Portland apartment about 4:20 a.m. Tuesday and attacked a 14-year-old girl.

She was able to fight him off and he fled.

Officers searched the neighborhood with a dog but did not find the suspect.

The girl was not hurt. She does not know the suspect.

Sgt. Pete Simpson told The Oregonian that investigators don’t know the intruder’s intent — whether it was an attempted burglary and the girl happened to be in the room. Her parents were home at the time.
