A woman was strangled in a home invasion in the Hollywood Hills on Thursday night, police said.

Officers responded to the home in the 8500 block of Lookout Mountain Avenue just before 8:30 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. When they arrived, they learned a resident in her mid-70s had been assaulted and strangled during the incident.

Police say she was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries.

The suspects, described as two men wearing hoodies and masks, left the area in a white Honda Accord, LAPD said. They took cash and jewelry, but it is unclear how much was taken.

The investigation is ongoing.
