The incident happened at a house on Suffolk Down at 3 a.m., according to police.

Officials say three men, including one armed with what appeared to be a gun, walked into the home.

Authorities say the trio tried stealing a safe but dropped it as they were leaving. Detectives believe the home was targeted.

The victim was treated and released from the hospital.

Officers ask anyone with information on the incident to call Suffolk Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
