Man wrestles kangaroo from home

Verity Beman

An Australian couple in Canberra thought they were being attacked by an intruder when a kangaroo crashed through their bedroom window and started jumping on them.

Beat Ettlin was in bed with his wife, Verity Beman, when the kangaroo came through the glass in Garran, a suburb of Canberra.

After bounding around the house, Mr Ettlin managed to grapple the bleeding marsupial to the floor, get it in a headlock and push it out of the front door.
