A couple have endured a frightening home invasion at Elermore Vale overnight.
The 63-year-old man and 61-year-old woman were asleep in their Orion Close home at about 11.00pm when they were woken by noises inside the house.
Inspector Michael Gorman says four unknown men then forced the bedroom door open and started attacking the man as he lay in bed.
"...one of whom we believe had some sort of weapon, possible a bat. The males have then run out of the premises and taken some electrical items with them when they've gone," he said.
The 63-year-old was taken to the John Hunter Hospital where he is being treated for facial bruising and possible facial fractures.
