Couple wake to find naked intruder in their bed

A 25-year-old Irish national has been arrested after a couple in Sydney’s south-east awoke to find him lying naked in their bed.

A woman woke in the bedroom of her Maroubra home to find a man allegedly in bed with her and her partner at about 1:45am on Monday.

She woke her partner who challenged the naked man, who then reportedly got out of the bed, picked up his clothes and walked to the back of the house.

The woman called police while her partner tried to contain the man in their backyard, but he allegedly climbed through a kitchen window and wandered through the house until officers arrived.

The man was arrested and then began convulsing in the police car.

Paramedics were called to the scene on Sackville Street and treated the man for possible drug-related health issues.

He was taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital by ambulance with a police escort.

Officers said the man was undergoing medical and mental health checks and will be interviewed by police after he is released from hospital.
