A man has life-threatening injuries and a woman has been severely hurt during a home invasion in Prince George.

R-C-M-P say it happened just after eight last night in a home in the city's Quinson neighbourhood, northwest of the downtown core.

Investigators haven't said how many people might have been involved in the attack or how they were called to the home.

The Prince George serious crime unit is appealing for any surveillance or dash cam video that could show people or vehicles coming or going from the area.
