Police are searching for three men following an aggravated burglary on a house in Botley.
Shortly before 11pm last night three masked raiders, one carrying a gun and two brandishing knives, forced their way into a home in Crabtree Road, off Westminster Way, Botley.
A 42-year-old woman sustained a facial injury after being slashed by a knife and a 49-year-old man received a head wound after being struck over the head by a pistol.
The men demanded money from a safe, which turned out to be empty, and left when the woman escaped and raised the alarm.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Thames Valley Police on 0845 8505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
