A 12-YEAR-OLD Perth boy, who was home alone, managed to flee a terrifying home invasion and notify police.
Danny Micco was alone in a home on Donar Street, Innaloo about 12.30am when a male offender broke through a window to gain access to the home.
The man grabbed Danny and threatened him before stealing items from the house.
The 12-year-old managed to run to a nearby family member's home where police were called.
The dog squad arrived first on the scene and when entering the property, observed a man attempt to flee over the back fence.
Despite the handler calling for the man to stop, he continued to flee and police dog Freddie was sent in.
The 22-year-old struggled during his arrest and was bitten on the face by Freddie before he was arrested.
The alleged offender is currently under police guard at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital where he had to be sedated due to his aggressive state.
He was treated for both the dog bite and an injury believed be sustained during the break-in.
Police are expected to interview the man later today when he wakes.
