Armed intruders pointed a gun at a man and cut him with a machete during a "quite horrible" home invasion in Canberra's south, a jury has been told.
Jackson Cory Allred and James Gregory Elliott, the men accused of being the assailants, went on trial in the ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday, having each pleaded not guilty to three charges.
The pair both deny aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and property damage.
