A man is recovering in hospital after a violent home invasion at Waratah West overnight.
Police say the 20-year-old man walked out the front of his Dover Crescent unit at about 2am this morning and smashed a guitar in the street.
He then walked back into the unit, followed by several other people who allegedly assaulted him.
He was taken to the John Hunter Hospital with a laceration to the back of his head.
There's no description of the offenders, and the motive is still not known.
