A 23-year-old Warrington man suffered injuries to his arm and stomach when he was attacked in his own home by two men – one brandishing a knife.
Police have appealed for help from the public in tracking down the offenders who forced their way into the victim’s home in Teal Grove, Birchwood, at about 6.20pm on Saturday (March 27).
They are anxious to hear from anyone who saw the offenders in the area of Teal Grove or Mallard Close either before or after the attempted robbery.
The victim was confront by the two men, who gained entry to the man’s flat through an unlocked front door.
They demanded money and threatened the man with a knife.
