Guelph Police are looking for a suspect after they said a man was beaten with a baseball bat inside his own apartment.

Emergency services were called to an apartment building near Willow Road and Edinburgh Road North just after 6 a.m. Sunday.

A man in his 50s told officers he had been in his kitchen earlier that morning when a man walked into his apartment and hit him in the head with a wooden baseball bat. The victim said he fell to the ground and was hit several more times.

Investigators were told the assailant took some cash off a table and ran off.

The victim was taken to hospital and treated for head injuries.

Police believe the men knew each other and this was a targeted event.
