Intruder still at large after Minn. home invasion

The search continues for an intruder who robbed an 82-year-old woman and left her tied up in her central Minnesota home.

Authorities say early Saturday, a man broke into the woman's Grey Eagle home, gave her a black eye, cut her face with a knife and tied her to a chair.

The victim was wearing an alarm on her wrist. She managed to free her hand and pushed the button using her chin. The alarm called a hospital in St. Cloud, and hospital personnel notified police and the woman's family.
