An elderly man is recovering in hospital after a violent home invasion at his Paradise View residence on Thursday afternoon.

Reports indicate that three men forced their way through the front door of the home and brutally assaulted the occupant before fleeing the scene.

The victim sustained serious injuries during the attack and was transported by ambulance to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, where he is receiving medical treatment.

The incident has left residents shaken and renewed concerns about crime affecting vulnerable members of the community. An attack on an elderly person inside their own home is particularly troubling, as many view their homes as places of safety and security.

Family members and loved ones are said to be supporting the victim as he recovers from the ordeal.

An investigation is expected to be launched into the incident as efforts are made to determine the identities of those responsible.
