This is why you never ignore your gut instinct.

The audacity of him to ring the doorbell and tell her to open the door he’s so stupid

About a WEEK later they caught this guy, Orisha Luckey, and he was arrested. I notice that most of these channels and news websites don't update us on this information. The maniac who tried to get in her apt. had 37 prior arrests!!

This definitely wasn't an attempted break-in!! He wasn't trying to break-in. This is more like an attempted assault!! Happy she got inside just in time!! 🙏🏽

The very definition of when every second counts.

She was calm enough to unlock the door. Fear can literally paralyze you or make you tremble so hard you can’t function correctly. Bless her!

I once had a man follow me into the underground garage of my apartment complex. He was getting extremely close but I didn't want to be accused of profiling, so I just acted normal. I got into my car and in a split second, as I locked the door, he was on the passenger side trying to open the door. I just froze. When he saw I had my cellphone in my hand, he ran away. It was so frightening. That's just one of many close calls with these deranged individuals. It's quite sad that many women I talk to have had more than one encounter with a stalker.

I'm so glad that she was able to unlock and close that door in time. I hope she has recovered from this now.

She’s blessed. So many people would have panicked and dropped their keys.

He is very comfortable doing what he's doing. The way he threw his foot to the door to prevent it from closing. He's done this for sure, no doubt.

This reminds me of my grandma’s step mother. She was 104 and went to go get the mail from outside. Right when she got back into the house she closed the gate just in time because a man ran up to the door a little late and was telling her to open the door so he can break in her house. She told him that if your looking for a store or bathroom their is a gas station a couple blocks from here. Crazy but RIP to her. She passed away about 3 or so years ago.
