A "very drunk" man has kicked his way into the apartment next to his own
in Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory, only to be confronted by
the occupant who subdued him until police arrived, who found the
intruder snoring happily.
NT Police Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said the 28-year-old
"very drunk" man had been out on the town in Darwin and had called it a
night at about 3:15am on Sunday.
He made his way to what he believed was his apartment in a large complex
in the CBD area.
The man however had arrived at the apartment next to his own. "He tried to get inside and couldn't, so he knocked on the door. He got no response to that, so he kicked the door in," Superintendent Jorgensen said. She said the "startled resident" of that apartment managed to put on some clothes before confronting the intruder.
"A fight started ... and the occupant managed to subdue the man and pin him down," she said. "By the time the police arrived the intruder had fallen asleep and he was snoring." The man was taken into custody and spent the night at the police headquarters. He was later charged with criminal damage and has been bailed to appear in court on Tuesday.
