Police are investigating after a 64-year-old man was assaulted during a burglary this morning in Tingalpa.
Initial inquiries indicate that around 6.20am, three men kicked open the rear door of a residence on Boundary Street, disturbing a man who was in the bedroom.
One of the men made demands for money and then himself and a second man assaulted the resident.
Another of the men rummaged through the man’s property, before all three left the scene on-foot with possible property from the house.
It is believed they were heading north down Boundary Street in the direction of Carmichael Park and all wearing dark-coloured hooded-jumpers.
The man was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
There is no further information available. Investigations are continuing.
