A 65-year-old man has been stabbed with a sword while trying to scare off three intruders from his east London home.

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."
Police said the sword has not been found and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
