A teenage girl screamed after finding a stranger with a knife at the top of the stairs in her own home.
At around 3.30am on Wednesday, August 31, the 15-year-old woke up and disturbed a stranger on the landing of her family home on Hard Lane in St Helens. The man then showed the teenager what was believed to be a knife and she retreated into her room.
The teen screamed out, alerting her dad who was asleep elsewhere in the home, and he chased the man out of their home. Merseyside Police have said three suspects were seen running down Hard Lane after the incident.
