Police are appealing for information after a 94-year-old man was attacked during a robbery in his own home.
It happened at the house on Priory Close in Sale at about 4 o'clock on Sunday morning (22nd May 2016).
The victim is currently in hospital receiving emergency treatment for a life threatening brain injury.
PC Martin Hill of GMP’s Trafford Borough said: “This was an awful robbery of a man in his own home, which is a place where a person should feel the safest.
“The victim was left all alone injured and in shock on the floor by the two offenders.
“They did not give the condition of their victim a second thought, only caring about what they could get their hands on.
“Given the timing of the incident, it is possible that people may have heard a disturbance taking place before seeing the offenders flee the scene.
“I would like to urge anybody with information to please come forward and contact police.”
Anybody with information should contact police on 0161 856 7530 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
