MARSHALL, Mich. -- Marshall Police are searching for a suspect who they say tied up a 63-year-old man during an armed robbery over the weekend.

They then tied the man up and made his 64-year-old spouse retrieve cash and other items from the house.

The man attempted to confront the suspect as he was trying to leave and was assaulted.  He was transported to the hospital with unspecified injuries.
