A woman was sprayed with pepper spray and a man was stabbed after burglars forced their way into their home, according to police.
At about 10.40pm yesterday, the occupants of an address in Faraday Close, Slough, Berkshire, answered the door and two or three offenders forced their way in.
The two victims who were attacked during the raid, which is being treated by police as an aggravated burglary, were taken to the Wexham Park Hospital in Slough for treatment.
Detective Inspector Nicola Denard, of Thames Valley Police, said: "I would like to reassure the public that incidents such as these are very rare."
We were absolutely delighted to host Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh at Mars Chocolate UK.
We have been manufacturing chocolate in Slough for over 80 years and it was a real privilege to have the opportunity to share our UK manufacturing heritage with our guests and introduce some of our fantastic associates.
We have over 1,000 associates working on the site and everyone was thrilled to be part of the visit.
It has been one of the most exciting days at Mars Chocolate UK since we first opened the factory in 1932.
