I had the most terrifying night early Saturday morning, well not just me the entire family suffered.
We were lying in bed sound asleep when we were awoken buy someone bashing on our front door.
My wife and I both jumped out of bed and made sure our 16 week old son was ok.
Whoever it was kept banging on the front windows then what sounded like kicking the front security door. My wife was on the phone to 000 by now.
The front sensor light had come on and I could see their silhouette thru the glass panelling in the door. I was about to open the door when my wife started yelling... don't open the door. All I could think of was my 16 week old son and my wife and keeping them safe.
They were still there and they kicked at the front security door again and this time the adrenaline and fear had built up in me I started yelling and screaming at them and during this moment without realising I hit the glass panel on the door. They soon ran off pretty quick but we stayed inside until the police arrived.
Unfortunately I cut my wrist and back of my hand in the incident and called an Ambulance.
We are still not sure who it was but the neighbours a few doors down had a 16th birthday party that was supposed to be supervised. Alcohol bottles and cans where in our yard and neighbouring yards. Not well supervised
The police said they have spoken to suspects but I doubt nothing will come of it. So most likely drunken kids gave us the fright of our lives. I am not sure if the parents where supervising the party and I haven?t spoken to them yet as I was only discharged from hospital today.
The incident is somewhat a blur and it made me think what would I do different?
What if I had a gun? Would I use it? I don't really recall hitting the door but my wife said I was acting and yelling like a man possessed.....a man protecting his family and home. I don't know how others would react in this situation but I hope it never happens again.
