FIVE masked men broke into a Huddersfield home and assaulted a man.

They forced their way into a house opposite the Wappy Spring at Lindley Moor Road.

The men assaulted a 27-year-old in the house, leaving him with a cut to his head.

The group searched the house, but left without taking anything.

A 64-year old man and a 62-year old woman who were in the house at the time were not injured in the incident at 10pm on Wednesday.

The suspects wore dark clothes and balaclavas. Two of the men are thought to be white.

Anyone with information about the incident can call Huddersfield CID on 101.
