NSW pensioner attacked with bat

Thieves have attacked an elderly man with a baseball bat on the NSW mid north coast.

Police say the two thieves raided a motel and a block of holiday units at Forster around 5am on Saturday.

They first broke into a motel room in Macintosh Street and threatened an 80-year-old man with a screwdriver before taking cash from his wallet.

Twenty minutes later, the pair broke into a motel holiday unit in Middle Street and stole a number of items, including laptops, mobile phones, and electrical items.

They allegedly smashed a window to get in and when a 75-year-old man went outside to investigate, the robbers hit him a number of times with a baseball bat.

The elderly man was taken to Taree Hospital for treatment to a head wound and later released.

The thieves have been described as Caucasian, thin to medium build and about 170cm to 175cm tall.

Both wore dark clothing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Forster Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
