A Blue Range, Diego Martin man who allegedly broke into a woman's home and tried to assault her is in hospital under police guard after the woman's relatives caught and subdued him metres from the home.

At around 2 am on January 25, the 38-year-old victim locked the doors and windows of her Diego Martin home and went to bed.

She told police she was awakened about an hour later by a noise in her bedroom, and saw a man standing near her bed with his back towards her and his pants down by his knees.
