A 19-year-old man is facing court today after a terrifying home invasion in East Maitland overnight.
Just after 9pm, three males forced their way into a Curtin Street home and assaulted a 20-year-old male resident punching him to the ground while a fourth man waited outside.
A 20-year-old woman was at home at the time as well, when the man was kicked on the ground and left with minor injuries.
The four males then fled the scene in a silver vehicle.
It wasn't long before police found the vehicle in the carpark of a licensed premises in East Maitland, and a short time later, they arrested a 19-year-old man on Molly Morgan Drive.
He was charged with aggravated break and enter and commit a serious indictable offence as well as resist an officer in the execution of duty.
Police are still on the hunt for the other three men.
