The victim told police the woman hit her in the face and cut her left hand with a knife as she resisted. The intruder dropped the knife and then left the apartment through the door at the entrance. Nothing was stolen from the apartment.

Police said the victim, who lives alone, suffered minor wounds. She told police she didn't know the intruder who is described as being in her 30s, about 160 cms tall and was wearing black.

...... Nothing was stolen from the apartment.

So the woman "thief" climbed TWO stories and yet stole nothing?

Me thinks it wasn't a robbery but a murder attempt.

Maybe the two of them have a bad history. Love rival?
