74 Year Female Scares off Attacker

The victim was sitting in a recliner in her detached garage (which has been converted to a room)
when the suspect entered through a sliding door. The suspect contacted her at midnight,
covered her mouth with his hand. The victim struggled with the suspect and hit him while screaming for  help. The suspect was scared off and he ran out of the door and down the driveway.
Detectives have been notified and are working on the case.
