Thugs armed with a baseball bat struck in Liversedge.
The three robbers attacked people in a house in Valley Road, hitting a teenager with the bat and also hitting another man with an iron.
The gang fled with a wallet and a mobile phone.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the men were assaulted and robbed in the house on Thursday evening.
The incident happened at 5.45pm when three men went to the property and knocked at the door before making their way inside.
One of the assailants had a baseball bat and all three demanded money and property. At the time of the incident the home owner had friends visiting.
One of those friends, a 17 year old male, was hit with the bat causing slight swelling above the left elbow.
The home owner, a 21-year-old man was then struck on the head with an iron causing swelling and pain. The iron was also thrown at the third friend in the room although it missed.
Det Insp Andy Leonard, of Huddersfield CID, said: “This is a particularly unpleasant robbery in which three people simply going about their daily business could have been seriously injured.
“It is suspected that this is a targeted attack and that no one else in this vicinity is in any way at risk. I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident or saw three males acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the incident to contact Huddersfield CID on 101.”
