A man is being treated in hospital after an armed gang broke into his north Belfast home on Wednesday.
A number of masked men armed with a gun, a knife and a baton broke into the house at Greymount Parade shortly before midnight.
They struck the 50-year-old occupant on the head and repeatedly assaulted both the man and his sons before demanding money.
They also ransacked the house before making off with jewellery and cash.
