Emergency services were called to a home in Fullerton Street about 3.30am.
At the scene Newcastle City police were told that two men had entered a property and assaulted a man before fleeing the home in a vehicle.
The man, aged 58, was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for a laceration to his head, before being taken to John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
