Man Bashed As He Slept During Early Morning Break-In At Woodberry

BY IAN CROUCH

A man has been assaulted during a break-in at Woodberry this morning.

Police say a man entered a home on Segenhoe Street at about 4.00am and confronted the 25-year-old victim as he slept.

The intruder bashed the occupant with a piece of wood before running off.

The victim was treated at the scene and did not need to be taken to hospital.

It's believed the incident is linked to a home invasion two weeks ago when a 37-year-old man and his 40-year-old partner were allegedly assaulted by a group of people who forced their way into a house on Segenhoe Street.
