A local woman was robbed and assaulted early Wednesday morning. 

The 27-year-old woman told police that she was awakened in the early morning hours to a known person hitting her. The incident occurred at the victim's apartment, 2515 S. Ohio Street.

Salina Police Sergeant Tonniges said the subject forcibly entered the victim's apartment by forcing the door open.

The subject hit the victim repeatedly before taking the victim's cellphone and leaving the apartment.

 The victim, left without a way to contact law enforcement, got in her car and attempted to drive to the Salina Police Department. She quickly discovered that two of her tires had  been slashed. 

The victim next went to the Kwik Shop, 2003 S. Ohio Street in order to report that a crime had occurred. 

The victim suffered minor injuries.
