Robbery - Image 1In Sydney, Australia, two men carrying a baseball bat and a firearm were reported to have forced their way into a house, injuring its 21-year old owner and taking his Sony PlayStation game console in the process.

Reports did not identify specifically which of Sony's gaming hardware was taken by the assailants, whose identities are still unknown to the authorities.

The incident happened at approximately 7:00 in the morning. The robbers forced their way in through the front door and stormed through the victim's household.

Fortunately, a 19-year old woman also living in the house was not hurt. The suspects were described to be draped in camouflage gear and balaclava. No shots were fired in the incident.
