CHENNAI: A 25-year-old history-sheeter was arrested by the cops following an alert by residents after he barged into a house in Anna Nagar and allegedly tried to misbehave with a 40-year-old woman sleeping inside, reportedly leaving open the main door of the house for ventilation. The arrested was identified as Subramani of Mogappair.

Police said that based on a call to the police control room, a team from Anna Nagar police rushed to the scene and nabbed the suspect with the help of the residents.
