A woman in her 60s was hospitalised after she was hit by her own vehicle during an armed burglary in Ickenham.
The victim was attacked by four men wearing hi-vis jackets, one of whom was armed with a knife.
The gang forced their way through the front door of a property in Field Close on Friday April 7.
