TWO offenders are on the run after allegedly assaulting a man in his own home at Seaford, Sunday 13 October.
Police say that two men assaulted a 59-year-old man at his home with a metal bar, giving the victim lacerations to his head, leg, arm, and hands. The victim also sustained a broken finger, and was taken to the Alfred Hospital by ambulance for surgery. The victim’s injuries were non life-threatening.
Police believe that the incident may have occurred as a result of an incident earlier in the night, in which the victim was involved in a scuffle with one of the offenders at the Seaford Hotel.
The two offenders broke into the victim’s home at around 9.05pm through the front door. The victim’s wife witnessed the assault.
The two offenders are still outstanding. Police say they are caucasian men in their late 40s. They made no demands for property from the victim.
