A homeowner in Los Angeles' Van Nuys neighborhood was attacked by an alleged squatter and managed to subdue the suspect early Thursday morning, officials said. Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys Station were called to a home on the 13500 block of Hart Street, near the intersection of Woodman Avenue and Sherman Way, around 1 a.m. where the homeowner says he found the intruder locked inside a second-story bedroom before the assault.
