A man was left needing hospital treatment after he was stabbed in the leg during a burglary at his home in Leeds.
Police were called to an address just off Freely Lane in Bramham at around 23:00 BST on Thursday after reports that four males armed with hammers and machetes had forced their way into the property and attacked the victim.
PC Sophie Lomax of West Yorkshire Police said it was 鈥渦nderstandably a terrifying ordeal鈥 for the victim, adding his partner was also in the house during the burglary.
The suspects are all described as male and aged in their late teens to early 20s.
PC Lomax said: 鈥淲e take any use of weapons such as this extremely seriously and this appeal is one of a number of lines of inquiry that are being pursued to try and identify those involved and ensure that they are brought to justice for their actions.
鈥淲e have conducted house-to-house inquiries in the vicinity of this incident but equally if there is anyone who we have not spoken to who may have any relevant CCTV or if there was anyone who was driving in the area who may have dashcam footage, I would ask them to check their footage.鈥
