When his son approached the front door, he saw two men.
The intruders accosted the son, who tried to defend himself but was injured in the process. He ran to his father’s bedroom and locked the door where he called a neighbour for help.
The robbers took a TV and clothing valued at R22 000, before fleeing on foot.
An ambulance was later called to the scene to treat the injured man.
