Former Bayern star's family recounts terrifying ordeal: "This lunatic broke into my father's house"

The family of Mehmet Scholl, the former Bayern Munich footballer, experienced moments of panic early Monday morning when a 48-year-old man invaded their Munich residence. The suspect entered the house around five in the morning through an unlocked terrace door, leaving his backpack and shoes outside.

Once inside the residence, the intruder didn't seek valuables. Instead, he consumed the family's food and... took a shower. He then proceeded, naked, to the bedroom of Scholl's 20-year-old eldest daughter, where she was sleeping with her boyfriend, Sandro Porta, a footballer for 1860 Munich's second team.

The couple awoke when the man attempted to get into bed with the young woman, leading to a violent confrontation. Speaking to the Bild newspaper, Scholl's daughter described the incident: "This lunatic broke into my father's house, where my boyfriend and I were sleeping. When he tried to get on top of me in our room, my boyfriend and I violently attacked him. And then we held him until the police arrived."

Alerted by the commotion, Mehmet Scholl himself rushed to help. Together, the three managed to pin the intruder to the ground while awaiting authorities. During the struggle, the suspect sustained a head injury.

Upon arrival, the police apprehended the man inside the house. According to released information, the individual was already known to authorities as a "person with psychological disturbances." The suspect has since been admitted to a psychiatric institution, while criminal police investigate the exact circumstances of the incident.
