This is the shocking moment that a 'terrified' mother and her child are held at knife-point after thugs forced their way into her home and demanded money.
The victim, a 22-year-old woman, was at her Wandsworth home in south-west London when two men knocked on her door and forced their way in just before 1.30pm on Tuesday.
The woman, who was holding her child, was forced into the kitchen at knifepoint by one of the men wearing a blue Tesco branded jacket, who demanded money before they both fled.
Detectives have now released footage of two men they are trying to trace after they forced their way into the victim's home.

Nothing is believed to have been taken from the property and there were no reports of any injuries.

Detectives from the Met's South West Command Unit are pursuing a number of enquiries following the 'terrifying' ordeal.

Detective Sergeant Cerith Jones said: 'The community will be appalled by this awful incident and I know many people will want to reach out and help us identify them.

'I urge local people to please check your doorbell and dash cam footage for any material that could assist us.

'If you were in the vicinity and saw two men acting suspiciously, or running away, we want to hear from you.

TikToker Mizzy has handed himself over to police following the publication of a video where he broke into a stranger's home.
Mizzy, real name Bacari Ogarro, is a controversial figure on the platform who carries out a series of so-called pranks including stealing a woman's dog, forcing his way into a stranger's car and getting into the home of a family.
He's also posted videos of himself ripping pages out of library books, harassing people in public places and riding an e-bike through a supermarket.

Police previously confirmed that they were looking for him after the publication of a video showing two people walking into a stranger's home in Hackney.
In a statement made last night (22 May) the Metropolitan Police confirmed that an 18-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance.

They confirmed the arrest was made on Monday evening and that an 18-year-old was currently in police custody.
The statement read: "The arrest follows an investigation into social media footage which featured a number of incidents, including apparently unsolicited approaches made towards members of the public in the street or on transport, and entering addresses without the apparent permission of the owners."
The chief of the Central East Command Unit, the body responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, also commented on the matter.
"I do not underestimate the widespread upset, distress and concern that these videos caused," Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway said.
"Some people have referred to these as ‘prank’ videos, but I hope that this significant development demonstrates just how seriously we have been taking this investigation since this footage began circulating online.
"A number of these videos were produced, impacting on many different people and our investigation remains ongoing as we seek to build a strong picture of both the activity featured in the footage and impact on the public.”

Mizzy has previously been arrested over footage which appeared to show him harassing Jewish people, and he has told The Independent that his videos are all about getting engagement and that 'it’s the fact that people are talking that’s important'.
He told them he does feel 'sympathy and remorse' for some of the people in his videos, including a family who lived in a house that he entered without permission.
The TikToker said he went back the next day and apologised, and also spoke about the controversial video of him stealing a woman's dog.
He said: "I said to her that if the dog came up to us again, having already come up to us three times, then I was going to take her dog and she laughed and said my grandson has seen you on TikTok."
Mizzy also claimed that he was the actual owner of the library books he appeared to destroy in one of his videos.

Police are looking for a British teenager who has gained notoriety on social media for a range of TikTok 'pranks'.
Some of his wildest videos show him stealing a woman's dog, storming the home of a random family with a group of young men, and forcing his way into a stranger's car.
In other clips, Bacari Ogarro, from Stoke Newington in north London, was seen ripping pages out of library books, harassing women on trains and in parks, and riding an e-bike through a supermarket.
Metropolitan Police visited the 18-year-old's home shortly after he uploaded a video of himself stealing an elderly woman's dog while running away laughing, according to the Daily Mail.
The teenager, who goes by the name 'Mizzy' online, later returned the precious pooch to its clearly distressed owner.
One officer told the outlet: "We've been looking for him for a number of days but each time we visit the property, he's never in."
"We'd like to speak with Ogarro about a number of things, including the videos that he's posted."
They added: "He's very well known around here and we've had to visit his home in the past to speak to him several times about his conduct.
"We can't go into any details about the exact reason why we want to speak to him. I can't say if any further action will follow."
The Metropolitan Police later confirmed it was looking for Ogarro as they believe he may have breached a Community Protection Notice, which prohibits him from carrying out any act which will or is intended to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Authorities also confirmed they are trying to trace the teenager after a video showed two people walking into a house in Hackney, much to the alarm of a man and woman who urged the two to leave.

Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway of the Central East Command Unit, which is the unit responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said they're looking into the footage.
"We are aware that this video has been widely shared both on social and mainstream media, and understand the concern caused by its content," Conway said, as per the Daily Mail.
"I would like to reassure the public that we are taking the matter very seriously and are conducting an investigation, including enquiries to locate the man seen in the video.
"We have spoken with the homeowners and will continue to liaise with them in regards to our action on this matter.
"We are aware of other videos posted by the same individual which have also been circulating, but believe these to be historic matters which were addressed through previous police action, though we continue to pursue enquiries to check this."
Ogarro told The Independent that he couldn't care less about if his people love or hate him, as it's all about engagement and views for him.

"It’s the fact that people are talking that’s important," he said.
When asked about the criminal nature and subsequent police activity surrounding some of his 'pranks', he said: "I ain’t got too much to say to them people just that I know myself and so do my fans."
Ogarro also claimed he went to the Hackney family’s house the day after he posted the video and apologised.
He said while he doesn't usually have regrets over his videos, he does feel 'sympathy and remorse' and added he 'wouldn’t do that again'.
Former policeman Mark Williams-Thomas has since questioned why Ogarro had not been prosecuted for his alarming actions.
"There's enough evidence now for the Met Police to arrest the vile and idiotic TiKTok/YouTuber 'Mizzy' (Bacari Ogarro) for at least criminal damage and assault," he said.
"He has documented all his crimes as well so that will help with a prosecution."

MPs have since joined calls for Police to take urgent action to stop him.
His TikTok account has since been taken down and his YouTube account has also been deactivated and replaced with a message saying it had breached the platform's terms of service.
Jed Horner, TikTok Country Policy Manager, Trust & Safety, told LADbible: "The safety of the TikTok community is our highest priority.
"Content that promotes or glorifies dangerous behaviour, including these so-called 'challenges', is strictly prohibited and promptly removed from our platform.
"Our Community Guidelines clearly state what is and is not acceptable on our platform and everyday we remove and ban content and accounts that breach these guidelines, including dangerous challenges like this."
