Man attacked in apartment

Amherst police are searching for two black males suspected of beating a Village of Williamsville man with firearms.

Police were called to an upper apartment at 5733 Main St., at 11:25 a.m. on Friday, when a 36-year-old man returned home to find his inside door locked.

The door was opened from the inside by the two suspects, and he was pulled in and beaten on the head and body by a semi-automatic handgun and revolver, Assistant

Chief John Askey said. The victim fought back striking one of the suspects.

The men left with more than $3,000 in cash, possibly in a four-door burgundy Ford vehicle. No other descriptions were reported by the victim or witnesses.

The man was transported to Erie County Medical Center by Twin City Ambulance. Hutchinson Hose Company firefighters also assisted.
