A Tarneit man is lucky to be alive after being assaulted by intruders armed with machetes during a home invasion on Thursday morning.

The 22 year old man suffered cuts to his leg and hand after being confronted by three masked intruders at a home in Baden Powell Drive at about 4.15am on June 1.

He was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A 62-year-old man, a 17-year-old male teen and an 11-year-old boy were also home at the time of the assault, but were unharmed.

All four fled the scene and called emergency services.

The intruders left without stealing anything and police are investigating if the two parties are known to each other.

No arrests have been made.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV footage or other information, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
