Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to an aggravated burglary in Milton Keynes last night (12/10).
At around 8pm, the victim, a man in his thirties, was at home in Duparc Close, Browns Wood, with his two young children in bed when he heard a knock at the door.
He answered it and there were two males wearing balaclavas and holding kitchen knives at the door.
The victim tried to close the door but the offenders pushed it back open and entered the house.
