SAN ANTONIO – A man accused of stripping off his pants and breaking into a family’s Northeast Side home is under police watch at a local hospital.
A family at Covina Plaza Apartments says the man broke through their glass window and tried snatching a 7-month-old baby who was resting in an area a few steps away from the window.
“He was saying that the baby was somebody else’s baby,” the child’s aunt Babi Loredo told News 4 WOAI.
Loredo’s brother quickly tackled the man and tried restraining him until police showed up, but said it was tough. Family members said the intruder reacted in a wild manner, breaking everything in sight.
It took more than a dozen police officers to hold the man down and take him into custody.
The officers said the man appeared to be mentally disturbed and/or on drugs. He suffered serious cuts all over his body from broken glass. He was taken to University Hospital for treatment.
Police said the man may be charged with burglary and assault.
