A man has been charged following an alleged home invasion in Altona North earlier this week.

Police charged a 21-year-old Truganina man with home invasion, recklessly causing injury and assault with a weapon.

Police allege two male offenders forced entry into a property on Mangan Court about 7.15pm on Monday, September 16.

Allegedly, they were armed with axes and attacked one man inside.

A 36-year-old Altona North man sustained minor injuries, while a 34-year-old Point Cook man received no physical injuries.

Police were told one of the occupants followed the men and confronted them with a weapon before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.

The Truganina man self-presented at hospital with a stab wound before being interviewed by police.

He was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday, September 20, while the other alleged offender remains outstanding to police.
