SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sioux Falls police say a woman was robbed and assaulted by two men after leaving her home to check her mail.

Police spokesman Sam Clemens says the incident happened Friday morning. The victim told police there were two suspects, including one who was carrying a machete.

Clemens says the men forced her from her porch inside her home, where they ransacked a room before taking her wallet and cellphone. The woman was allegedly hit on the head with the blunt side of a machete during a struggle.

Clemens says the woman was able to run out of her home and find help.
