A Venice Beach woman woke up Monday morning around 3 a.m. to find a man she did not know standing at the foot of her bed holding an object that appeared to be a knife.
The woman told police that she had a brief conversation with the man, who entered her home through a window, before he left her room and went into the kitchen. She then fled to a relative’s home and called the cops.
Police arrested a man who they believe to be the suspect.
Last year in Venice, another woman fled to her rooftop after an intruder burst into her home.
