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.

Police are investigating a violent home invasion at Woodberry.

Police say at least 3 people forced entry to a home on Segenhoe Street just after 9.30pm on Thursday and went to the main bedroom where they assaulted a 37-year-old man.

The man's partner, a 46-year-old woman and a second male occupant of the house suffered bruising when a scuffle broke out.

Police say it appears the group were targeting the 37-year-old man, who suffered minor cuts and bruising in the attack.


They say there are no links to a home invasion in the early hours of Thursday morning at Thornton where a 19-year-old man was hit over the head with an iron bar.
