Once inside, an 18-year-old man was struck on the back of the head with the grip of a silver handgun, and a 34-year-old man was hit in the face with a gun, Lt. James Slack said.
One of the two robbers held a gun to the head of a 28-year-old woman, while the other took three cell phones, a small television and the keys to two cars from the house, Slack said.
All three victims were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton and treated for minor injuries, Slack said.
The robbers ran out of the house, taking a red, 2005 Jeep Liberty that belonged to one of the victims, Slack said.
Police found the Jeep on Hanford Place around 8:45 a.m. and saw two people get out of it and walk into a house on the 300 block of Tyler Street, where police lost track of them, Slack said.
Trenton Police Criminal Investigation Bureau is investigating, Slack said.
