A pensioner was robbed in his own home by masked men armed with a screwdriver in Greater Manchester.
Officers are now appealing for information following the incident which happed at around 2.15pm on Thursday 29 June when police were called to Shortland Crescent in Burnage to reports of a robbery.
Two men smashed down a rear door to gain entry which disturbed the homeowner who came downstairs.
One of the men bundled the man into another room and demanded cash while his accomplice rifled through his possessions while armed with a screwdriver.
The victim was punched and kicked before one of the assailants smashed a computer monitor over his head.
As the pair dragged the man through to the front room, he managed to activate the alarm and both men fled the scene empty handed.
Detectives have launched an investigation to trace the two men.
