A 33-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly entering a neighbour s unit and kissing her several times while she was asleep, police said in a statement on Tuesday.
Police were alerted on Monday around noon when the same man called them claiming people were attempting to physically harm him. When officers arrived, they found two people outside the man s unit confronting him, where he had locked himself in. The two were told by officers to stay away.
Police investigations found that the man had entered his neighbour s home, which was unlocked, and allegedly kissed a woman several times while she was sleeping alone. The woman woke up and screamed at the man, telling him to leave, then called her family for help.
