Police were called to the scene around 2pm and remained there several hours Thursday.

A 30 year-old man remains in John Hunter Hospital after reportedly being assaulted during a violent home invasion at Kahibah Thursday afternoon.

Officers from Lake Macquarie Police District established a crime scene and remained on the Wallsend Street property for several hours into the evening.

A spokesperson for Hunter New England Health said around 10pm that the man remained in hospital and was in stable condition.

Police investigations are ongoing.
