ANAHEIM, CA — Authorities asked for the public's help catching a suspect who shoved an explosive into the home of a woman, injuring her on Friday in Anaheim.

Police were called to the 8000 block of East Far Canyon Way at about 5:40 a.m. Tuesday regarding the explosion, Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer told City News Service.

The suspect broke glass to shove the explosive into the home, authorities said. A woman living in the home woke up to the sound of shattering glass and told police that when she went downstairs to investigate, she was injured by "flying glass" and broke her foot and hand, Carringer said.

The suspect left the scene after leaving behind the explosive.

The motive is under investigation. Carringer told City News Service that it was possible that the attack was completely random.

The suspect is a 6-foot-tall man who weighs roughly 180 pounds. He wore a backpack, dark gray hoodie, black jeans and black tennis shoes.

Residents with information were asked to call Anaheim police detectives at 714-765-1557 or email ccavaness@anaheim.net.
