Thames Valley Police is investigating an aggravated burglary in Milton Keynes shortly after midnight on Sunday morning.
Offenders knocked at the door of a property in Yarrow Place, Conniburrow. When an occupant opened the door, three of the offenders barged past him and entered the property, while a fourth stood outside.
Some of the offenders went upstairs and threatened a female occupant of the property with a knife. A quantity of cash was stolen from her.
As the offenders were leaving, a male occupant of the property was struck to his head with what is believed to have been a firearm. The offenders then left the property. The victim, a man aged in his twenties, was taken to hospital with non life-threatening head injuries.
All of the offenders are men; three are described as black and the fourth offender is white. No further descriptions are available at this stage.
A scenewatch is currently in place at the property while officers investigate the circumstances.
