A woman carrying a baby was threatened with a knife during a "terrifying" incident in her home.
A man armed with a blade entered the property in Fulwood Avenue in Glasgow's Knightswood area on Friday afternoon.
He began to threaten the 48-year-old woman, who was carrying an infant, but ran off when she shouted for her teenage son to help.
During the incident another man was standing in the driveway and they both made off towards Kelso Street.
The first man is described as around 6ft and wore a dark-coloured parka jacket with a fur-lined hood and a dark blue and green tartan scarf.
The second man is described only as wearing a dark jacket.
Detective Constable Greg Stewart said: "Thankfully nobody was hurt but this was still a terrifying experience for the woman and her family.
"Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace the men involved and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Fulwood Avenue on Friday afternoon and may have noticed men matching the above descriptions, or anything at all suspicious, to please get in touch."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Drumchapel CID via 101, quoting incident number 2523 of Friday November 17 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
