Man hurt in Vic machete in home invasion

A man has suffered slash wounds on his face and hands when a gang wielding a machete and an axe stormed his Melbourne home.

Up to six armed offenders broke into a house in Oakleigh South and stole cash and wallets on Saturday afternoon before fleeing, police say.

A 35-year-old man living at the house was taken to hospital with cuts to his head and hand.
