PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating a violent home invasion Saturday morning in Northeast Philadelphia.



Police were called to the 6900 block of Horrocks Street around 2:30 a.m.



Authorities say four suspects managed to force their way through a basement door to gain entry to the house.



Once inside, police say the suspects assaulted a 41-year-old man.



Authorities say the suspects stole $10,000 in coins, $8,000 in cash, $10,000 in checks, and a 2019 white Toyota RAV4.



The victim refused medical treatment and is expected to be okay.



Action News spoke with the victim who had visible marks on his face from where he was assaulted.



"It's really dangerous right now. Everywhere I know," said the victim, who was too shaken up to show his face on camera. "We were like sleeping, and a couple of people came to the house and broke the door."



Police say the suspects remain at large and are not known to the victim.



Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
