Moderated by Tomas Kauer 
Police are searching for a group of young people who allegedly threw bricks at an elderly couple and another man after invading their rural NSW home in the early hours of this morning.
Two of the residents - a 69-year-old man and a 40-year-old man - were taken to hospital to receive treatment for hand and face injuries following the attack.
Police were first alerted to the alleged offenders at 2am today, when they tried to stop a Haval SUV on Gwydir Highway.

The car had been reported as stolen from an Inverell home on Gwydir Highway.
The driver failed to stop and police began a pursuit, but it was stopped due to safety concerns.
At 3.30am, authorities were called to a home on Merindah Avenue in Moree, where they were told by the three residents that a number of young people had forced their way into the home and threatened them.
A short time later, the group returned wearing masks and carrying bricks and began throwing them at the occupants, injuring the two men.
The group then took off in the allegedly stolen Haval SUV before police returned.
Both men were treated by paramedics and taken to hospital in stable conditions.
Police have established a crime scene and are investigating.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Moree Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
