A man and woman were threatened with a knife and left with bruises after they were attacked by burglars.
The incident occurred on Tuesday at around 9.50pm when the victims were entering a house in Milton Street, North Watford.
They were approached by two men who tried to push their way inside the house.
Police said the attackers threatened the victims with a knife and a hammer. They then hit the victims several times.
But, the men were unable to get in the house and they ran off
A 41-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary.
He is currently in custody and enquiries are ongoing.
Police have launched an investigation and are supporting both the victims.
