Philadelphia police say they have arrested two children in connection with a violent home invasion, and they are looking for a third.

The alleged incident happened Monday afternoon along the 1200 block of Luzerne Street.

Police say three boys, all around the age of 10, broke into the home and started to attack a woman with sticks while she was sleeping.

When she got up, one of the boys threw a potted plant at her, took $20 and ran off.

Now, a 10-year-old boy is charged with aggravated assault, robbery, and a string of other charges.

Police also arrested a 9-year-old but have yet to press charges.

The victim was treated at a local hospital.

FOX 29's Dave Kinchen has more details on this story during a video report on the FOX 29 News at 6.
