A woman has been slashed in the arm during a frightening home invasion at Adamstown.
Police say the 54-year-old answered the door to her Bryant Street home at about 4.00pm on Thursday and was confronted by a man who demanded the keys to her car.
When she refused it's alleged the man produced a knife and slashed the woman's arm before running off empty-handed.
A friend of the victim took her to the John Hunter Hospital where she received sutures for her injury before being allowed to return home.
The alleged offender is described as being of Caucasian appearance, short with a slim build.
