Police rushed to a crime scene only to discover a man screaming at a Spider

Police responded to multiple calls reporting a violent domestic dispute in Sydney’s north last weekend, only to discover a single man with a can of insecticide in hand, screaming at a Spider.

At around 2am on Saturday morning, calls of a woman and man yelling and screaming hysterically had police rushing to an apartment block only to discover that the screaming had come from a man who was attempting to kill a particularly massive spider. BuzzFeed reported.

The Harbourside Local Area Command Facebook posted a transcript of the complete interaction, and it’s so funny.

Police: “Where’s your wife?”

Male: “Umm I don’t have one.”

Police: “Where your girlfriend?”

Male: “Umm I don’t have one.”

Police: “We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?”

Male: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I live alone.”

Police: “Come on mate people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit.”

At this point the male became very sheepish.

Police: “Come on mate, what have you done to her.”

Male: “It was a spider.”

Police “Sorry??”

Male: “It was a spider, a really big one!!”

Police: “What about the women screaming?”

Male: “Yeah sorry that was me, I really really hate spiders.”

The interaction has since gone viral with some social media users empathising with the man, after all Spiders are dangerous.

A Facebook user said: "It's Australia. They have huge spiders that want to destroy all life on Earth. Any sane person would scream in that situation (and flee Australia)."
