A man had been sleeping on his living room couch when he was attacked by two robbers.

Last Thursday evening, 48-year-old James Napier was awoken by two robbers demanding cash and drugs. They proceeded to stab him five times while his wife and daughter Zoe slept upstairs in their Colchester, Essex home. Mr Napier suffered wounds to his back, shoulder and leg, but survived the attack. Detectives believe that the robbers intended to attack a drug dealer but went to the wrong address.
