Man hit in the face with a hammer during Oakville home invasion: police
Police in Halton Region are investigating after an Oakville resident was hit in the face with a hammer during a home invasion.
The incident happened on Wednesday at a residence near Upper Middle Road West and Third Line.
Halton Regional Police Service said they were called to that area just before 4 a.m. for reports of a home invasion.

The resident’s injuries are minor in nature.
The suspects are only described as males wearing dark clothing and masks.
