Police Investigate Holmesburg Home Invasion

NBC10 was on the scene as police investigated the home invasion on Torresdale Avenue

Philadelphia Police are investigating a home invasion on the 7400 block of Torresdale Avenue in the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia.

It happened around 10:00 a.m Monday. Police say no one was injured.

Jose Sigua, a man who lives in the home with his brother, tells NBC10's Marisa Brahney that a man knocked on the door and asked if he could take some furniture sitting out in the front yard. He says his brother told the man yes.

That man then pushed his way into the home and pulled a gun. Sigua tells NBC10 during a scuffle he was able to grab the gun away from the man while his brother's wife called 9-1-1.

He says he's not sure why his family was targeted.

Police are still investigating.
