Two men who forced their way into a house in Wigan and stabbed the occupants have been jailed.
Craig Mackin, 37, of Meadow Street, Springfield, Wigan was found guilty of aggravated burglary and two counts of assault, after a trial at Bolton Crown Court.
Craig Heaton, 46, of Markland Court, Frog Lane, Wigan pleaded guilty to burglary.
Mackin received a total of 18 years while Heaton was handed a three-year and four-month sentence.
At around 9.30pm on 15 April 2017, Mackin and Heaton forced their way into a house on Avon Road in Wigan and threatened the occupants with a kitchen knife, demanding money. Mackin then punched one of the occupants in the face - a woman aged 26 - and stabbed her in the thigh.
A 50-year-old man was also stabbed in the leg by Mackin.
One of the victims managed to call police and, as Mackin and Heaton were trying to flee, the police attended and arrested them.
Both victims were taken to hospital and treated for stab wounds.
