A man inside his house screaming at a spider and questioning why it won’t die so alarmed a passerby that police were called and surrounded the house.
Multiple units were called to a home in Perth’s northern suburbs after a worried walker outside heard a toddler screaming inside the house and a shouting man yelling “Why don’t you die?”
Police converged on the scene and discovered that a man inside the home was trying to kill a spider.
The father apologized to authorities, confessing he had a serious fear of the eight-legged creatures.
