Residents beat home intruder with his own bat

NORTH PORT, Fla. -- A home invasion went bad for a Florida man when one of the victims grabbed him in a bear hug and the victim's wife beat him with his own weapon, reports CBS affiliate WTSP.

Noah Dassat, 33, of Santa Cruz, Calif., has been arrested on four felony charges and one misdemeanor for armed burglary, battery, and criminal mischief.

The suspect allegedly stopped at a home on Thursday in North Port, Florida and asked for someone named "Josh," saying he was owed some money. The homeowner said he had the wrong address. The victims told police that he then broke down the door and attacked the occupants -- including three children -- with a bat, according to North Port police.
