KEY POINTS:
A 67-year-old man attacked by two teenagers in a Wanganui home invasion last night is expected to be released from hospital today.
Detective Constable Aaron Bunker said the man had suffered cuts and bruises to his head after answering his door to two males in their mid teens about 9pm.
The pair burst into his home, demanded personal items and attacked him with a weapon.
He was taken to Wanganui Hospital, where he stayed overnight, and was expected to be released later today.
Mr Bunker said the man was in "relatively good spirits" and had spoken to police.
Wanganui police said the man's stolen Eftpos card was used at the Gonville Shopping Centre ATM half an hour after the attack.
Police are looking for the two teenage males described as Maori, who may have been seen in the Hackett Street area or at the shopping centre about 9.40pm.
