Robbinsdale Police are investigating an alleged armed aggravated assault Jan. 13 in an apartment on the 4000 block of 37th Avenue.

The account:
At about 8:35 p.m., the man went to open his door for his girlfriend. As she entered, two men pushed their way into the apartment and rushed him, pushing him into a closet.

The intruders threatened the man with a gun, and then took his antique BB gun. During the fight, a third man entered the apartment.

Thankfully:
Neither the man nor his girlfriend reported injuries. They said they did not know the intruders. Nothing else was stolen and no shots were fired.

I don't know how to avoid this one. The girlfriend couldn't stay out in the hallway with the thugs. If she saw them, she could have warned her boyfriend, but unless he was armed, there wasn't much he could have done.
