Surveillance cameras caught the chilling moments a robber attacked a teen during a violent home invasion.

KNBC reports that the terrifying ordeal occurred in Riverside, California, at around 2 p.m. Sunday. The 17-year-old’s sister, only identified as “Nicole,” claimed the man pushed the girl inside the home and held a machete to her face.

Nicole told the news station that her sister was outside caring for the family dog when a woman approached her and sparked a brief conversation. She said the woman and a man then followed the victim to the front door. Nicole claimed the man pulled a mask over his face before pushing her sister inside the Riverside residence.

“They had a hatchet to her face when they had her in a headlock,” Nicole told the local station.

Cameras also captured another man wiping down the front door, presumably in an attempt remove fingerprint evidence, and entering the home.

The girls’ mother claimed the suspects stole jewelry, $5,000, and other miscellaneous items during Sunday’s ordeal. The woman said they were saving the cash to buy their daughter a new car. Though the victim is physically okay, Nicole said she is terrified to be alone.
