The 28 year-old victim, who is legally blind, told police he heard a noise at around 6 pm before he was forced into a wall. Fortunately he was left uninjured, and the offender did not take anything from the home before fleeing the scene.
The assailant was described as being around 175 cm tall with a medium build, and of Caucasian appearance. He was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket.
Police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000.
