DETECTIVES are today hunting two men after a Port Glasgow resident was slashed in the face after answering his door to the pair.
The 40-year-old victim sustained a laceration to the right side of his face and was treated in hospital following the 4.55pm attack.
Two men had gone to his home within a common close on Highholm Street, resulting in the man being struck with a knife or similar weapon.
Detective Inspector David Wagstaff, of Greenock CID, said: "The injured man was treated at Inverclyde Royal and allowed home afterwards.
"We are following a positive line of inquiry as the investigation continues.
"I would ask any witnesses to come forward and contact us."
Police can be called on the 101 number or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
