A Melbourne father was hospitalized with facial injuries after a home invasion by two teenagers armed with a samurai sword on September 7 in Werribee, Melbourne. Gof Sritanaamorn, believed to be Thai, was asleep with his wife and seven-year-old daughter when the intruders broke into their home through a garage. The intruders, aged 15 and 14, demanded the car keys and when Sritanaamorn followed them due to concern for his family's safety, one of the teenagers slashed him across the face.
The teenagers attempted to start the family's Mazda for over 20 minutes but could not get it to start. They returned to the house and asked Sritanaamorn to help, which he agreed to, believing it would encourage them to leave. Police arrived and arrested one teenager, while the other fought with an officer before being subdued. The case was brought back to the Children's Court on September 8, where both teenagers were found on bail and remanded in custody.
The injured father remained hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and was awaiting a CT scan.
