A Mount Washington man was sleeping in his apartment early Wednesday when he felt someone get into bed with him.

Figuring it was his girlfriend, he called out her name.

A deep male voice replied, “No it’s not.”

The unidentified resident jumped out of bed and called 911 as he held the intruder at bay with an aluminum baseball bat.

Police arriving around 5:30 a.m. found doors to the apartment building in the 100 block of Sycamore Street and to the victim’s unit had been forced open.

They took Michael Karanja Kamau, 33, of Cranberry, into custody. The suspect told them he was cold and wanted to get inside to get warm.

Police, in a news release, said Mr. Kamau was intoxicated but not to the point that he didn’t understand what was going on.
