A 35-year-old man from Sydney is in hospital under police guard, following an alleged home invasion and assault in Lake Macquarie this week.
Police were called to a property on Quigley Road at Bolton Point, at about 10:40pm on Wednesday.
At the scene, officers were told two men had allegedly forced their way into a property and assaulted two residents, aged 18 and 46, before running from the scene.
After becoming separated, one man drove-off in an unknown vehicle.
A short time later, the second man was struck by a small light-coloured car, which left the scene.
He suffered multiple leg injuries before seeking help at a home on Threlkeld Drive, where residents called an ambulance.
As investigations continue, anyone with information is asked to contact crime stoppers
