| (about 4 hours later) | |
| A man has been stabbed with a sword in his east London home after trying to scare off three intruders. | |
| The man, 65, had the sword on display in his living room and tried to scare off the youths in his garden in Barking Road, East Ham. | |
| But it is thought two of them got inside the house and in the confrontation the man was stabbed. | |
| The victim is in a stable condition with multiple stab wounds following the incident at 01:30 BST on Saturday. | |
| A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The victim awoke to noises outside his bedroom window and saw three youths in his front garden. He shouted at the youths to scare them off. | |
| "He then took a sword that he had on display in his living room and returned to a window and waved it at the youths. | |
| "Moments later he returned to look out of his bedroom window again and saw no-one outside. He walked out of his bedroom to find out that two of the youths were standing on his landing." | |
| During the incident the man suffered several stab wounds and is now in an east London hospital. | |
| Police said the sword has not been found and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward. |
