GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Police are looking for a woman who they say forced her way into her neighbor's apartment and assaulted her.
Sander Thein tells Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes she was in her apartment on Sweetwater Road sleeping when a woman in scrubs started knocking on her front door.
Thein tells Fernandes she didn't recognize the woman, so she didn't answer initially, but then, she says the same woman started banging on her patio door.
“I thought she was in danger, so that's why I opened the door just to see what's going on,” Thein said.
Now, she wishes she never opened it.

“As soon as I opened the door she pulled the door, opened it up, and then she started pulling my hair and grabbing me," Thein said. "She said, 'let me in ... this is my apartment.'"
Thein said the woman continued to attack her for a minute insisting it was her apartment.
When Thein finally got the woman off of her, she called police and snapped a few photographs.
Gwinnett County police told Fernandes the Sheriff's Department was already looking for the woman, who does live in the complex.
“The officers eventually found her apartment on the property," public information officer Michele Pihera said. "They found that she was there recently, but they could not find her. They took out two warrants for her arrest, one was for criminal trespass and the other was for simple battery."
After Fernandes interviewed Thein she went to the hospital to get checked out.
She told Fernandes she was traumatized by the whole thing.
