About 11.50pm, the man was awoken to the sound of people kicking in the back door to his house.
He was confronted by three unknown males - possibly teenagers - who were armed with a mop handle, a broom handle and rocks from a nearby garden.
The trio left the house with the man's wallet and car keys. His car- a red 2005 Honda CRV panel van with NSW registration CG 09EW - was also stolen.
The man then managed to call for emergency services.
Upon their arrival he was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for a broken left leg, punctured lip and facial lacerations. He was transferred to Coffs Harbour Hospital for further treatment.
A crime scene was established and was attended by Mid North Coast Detectives and Coffs Harbour Forensic Services Group.
Their inquiries continue.
