Woman Knocked Out By Aggressive Man

A 26-year-old Coeur d’Alene woman was knocked unconscious Monday by a man who approached her outside of her home.

Shani K. Skolrud told police a man walked up to her about 8:30 a.m. while she was starting her car in front of her east Garden Avenue home and said, “I am a Christian and you are too, aren’t you?”

The man then followed Skolrud to her home’s front door and pushed the door back open when she tried to close it. The door bumped Skolrud, pushed her backward and she tripped over a ladder behind the door.

Skolrud hit her head on the ladder or the floor and was knocked unconscious, according to a Coeur d’Alene police report. She was taken to Kootenai Medical Center where she was treated for a lump on the back of her head.

The man had left when she awoke about five minutes later, the police report said. He was described as in his mid-30s with brown curly hair below the ear and wearing blue jeans and a green coat. , DataTimes
