"It's a secluded neighborhood," neighbor Glenn Marinaccio told Action News. "There's not a lot of traffic going by. It's really unnerving."

The victim was reportedly taken to Paoli Hospital for treatment of his injuries. The suspects reportedly made off with undisclosed valuables in a black sedan with chrome wheels and no license plate.
