Phoenix police are looking for two thugs who forced a 70-year-old Phoenix woman into her apartment where one of the men sexually assaulted her early yesterday morning.

According to the Phoenix Police Department, the woman was walking back to her apartment about 12:45 a.m. when she was approached by the two men.

They forced her into her apartment in the 3200 block of East Earll Drive in Phoenix. Once inside, one of the men sexually assaulted her.

The two men fled the apartment and the victim called the cops. She was taken to a Valley hospital in good condition.
