POLICE are searching for a man who broke into the home of a pensioner and attempted to rape her on Friday night.

The 69-year-old victim, of south Trinidad, fought back and beat the intruder with a baseball bat until he retreated and stole her cell phone, then ran out of her house.

A police report stated that the victim had retired to bed when around 10.30 p.m. she heard a banging at the front of her home.
