A man has been assaulted and a teenager threatened with a knife after three men broke into a house in Londonderry.
Three masked men, at least one of them armed with a knife, forced their way into the house at Upper Bennett Street at about 10:30 GMT on Tuesday.
They threatened the 24-year-old man and 17-year-old boy inside and demanded money.
A knife was held to the throat of the teenager and the man was punched several times in the face.
The gang fled with a mobile phone. This was an unbelievably distressing and traumatising attack on these two young men, Det Sgt Richard Donnell said.
