Two men have allegedly been assaulted by a man wielding hedge shears in a targeted attack at a home in Sydney's west.

A 54-year-old man forced his way into the Emerton property on Saturday night and assaulted two men, aged 22 and 20, with the hedge shears, NSW Police say.

The 22-year-old man was taken to Westmead Hospital with lacerations while the 20-year-old was assessed at the scene by paramedics.

Police allege the attack was targeted and charged the 54-year-old man on Sunday with wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and aggravated entry into a dwelling with intent to use corporal violence.

He was refused bail and is due to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.
