In a shocking incident in Greenacre, Sydney, a 23-year-old man suffered severe injuries when his left hand was severed by a machete-wielding gang during a violent home invasion. The attack took place around 2am on Banksia Road when four masked men forced their way into the home, confronting the victim as he exited his bedroom. New South Wales Police Superintendent Rodney Hart described the incident as a brutal and traumatic attack, resulting in life-altering injuries for the young man. Paramedics arrived promptly, and he was rushed to the hospital for surgery, where he is expected to recover fully. At the time of the invasion, four other individuals, including a couple in their 40s and two young men aged 16 and 19, were present but unharmed. The gang threatened the victim's father and demanded cash, successfully stealing a significant sum from a safe. Police do not believe the incident is linked to organized crime but rather a targeted robbery, as the family is known for running a business in western Sydney. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
