TWO men attacked a resident at a house in Holme Park, Bentham, early yesterday morning.
The man had gone outside to investigate after seeing a man peering through his front window.
The homeowner sustained a hand injury which required hospital treatment and the two men made off in the direction of Bentham bridge.
“By the actions of the two men we can only assume their intention was to break into the house,” said a police spokesman.
