| Sozzled ... police wake up drunk intruder who had fallen asleep in family's home |
A HILARIOUS clip of a drunk intruder taking a nap on a shocked family's floor has become an internet sensation.
The hit video — entitled Our Midnight Visitor — has had 150,000 views since it was uploaded to YouTube after the incident on Sunday.
The footage show a man — who had wandered in through an unlocked door — passed out in the Brewington family's lounge.
Dad Bobbie said he was startled when he heard a crash downstairs while lying in bed at his home in Scarborough, North Yorks.
He added: "I got up and there was a guy passed out in the living room I jumped out of my skin when I saw him. I have no idea who he was."
The Waterstone's worker called the police before making sure wife Elizabeth and two-year-old daughter Suki-Rose were safely outside, then set up a camera "just in case he got up and did anything".
The drunk — dressed in white trainers, blue jeans and a pale T-shirt — is seen lying in front of kids' toys as the family's pets sniff at him.
Two police officers then arrive and attempt to wake him up.
A female officer shakes the man, saying: "Buddy, it's the police. You're not at your house buddy, you're in somebody else's house."
The man eventually sits and the officers escorted him back to the hotel where he had been staying.
Inspector Tony Quinn said: "We are satisfied there was no criminal intention on the part of the man who had entered the property by accident. He was clearly suffering from the effects of alcohol."
