An investigation is underway after two men were injured during a home invasion in Sydney’s inner west this morning.
About 3.30am (Sunday 13 February 2022), emergency services were called to a home on Unwins Bridge Road near Bridge Street, Tempe, after reports of a home invasion.
Police have been told two men – aged 31 and 23 – were inside the home when the younger man heard a noise. When he went to investigate, he located three or four males that had smashed the back glass sliding door to gain entry.
Both men were assaulted before the group fled the scene in a light-coloured hatchback.
They were described as wearing jumpers with hoods over their heads and masks.
The older man was treated by paramedics for a laceration to his hand before being taken to hospital in a stable condition. The younger man sustained facial injuries.
Officers from Inner West Police Area Command established a crime scene, which was examined by specialist forensic police.
As detectives continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, they urge anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV from the area to come forward.
Initial inquiries suggest the incident was targeted.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
