Parents wake up to find strange man holding their toddler

The cries of a young child woke her parents early Thursday morning -- but they never could have guessed what was making her wail.

Police came to their Tempe, Arizona, home at about 2:30 a.m. after a woman told the 911 dispatcher that her husband was fighting with a burglar, WJW reports.

According to Tempe Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Josie Montenegro, the woman woke up when she heard her 2 year old whimpering. She noticed her daughter's bedroom door was closed, which was unusual.

When the father checked the living room, he saw a stranger was holding his baby.

He immediately started fighting the man, who police have identified as Oren Cohen, 34.

Montenegro told WJW that officers arrested the man on suspicion of burglary and aggravated assault, and he noted that police are still investigating his intent.

Sounds like the father showed remarkable restraint leaving that guy in a shape that he could be arrested instead of hauled off in a coroner's van.

No excuse for not killing him before calling law enforcement.
They are law enforcement, not tattle-tale enforcement.  Once the intruder is in my home, it's my lair and bailiwick. Law can clean up the mess.

Surely the 2 yr old was not in the perps arms while Dad was fighting him.  Seems that would also risk the kid getting hit or drop on its head.

Even if home CCTV recorded the husband putting the burglar on his knees and pulling the trigger, i bet getting a jury conviction would be damn near impossible in these circumstances.

Guess you'd be surprised how many people don't have a gun at home.

Waking in the middle of the night to a whimpering or crying two year old, I never charged in with a weapon in my hands, and I doubt many do....., well I take that back, most here would probably go in with full tac gear.  Anyway, probably heard the child crying, saw a man holding him, and went hands on right away rather than turning to run and get a weapon allowing the intruder to run away with the child, or kill the child before the father could reach a weapon if he even had one.  Beside, would you start shooting someone holding your 2 year old child in the middle of the night in your living room?  I wouldn't.  

Good on dad.

Man who allegedly broke into Tempe apartment thought 2-year-old was ‘midget'



TEMPE, Ariz. - The man Tempe police arrested for second-degree burglary, aggravated assault and kidnapping on Thursday told authorities he was “blackout drunk” during the incident.

During an interview with officers after his arrest, Cohen said he remembered being in a dark room and “seeing a midget,” according to court paperwork. When he was told the “midget” was a child, court records state he broke down crying.

The suspect told police he was certain he didn’t perform or engage in any sexual acts with the child. The father said his child was still wearing her diaper and pajamas when they found her.

According to court records, the father did tell police that Cohen's pants were pulled down slightly and his buttocks were showing when the father found Cohen holding the child on his lap.

During a forensic interview, the 2-year-old told police that the suspect gave her an "ouchie" while pointing to her bottom, the court paperwork said.

Police responding to the scene found Cohen’s shoes in the girl’s bedroom, his coat wedged beside her mattress, and his passport on the floor by the foot of the bed. Court paperwork said it appeared he used the restroom and drank orange juice from the fridge.

Investigators say Cohen is legally visiting the U.S. from Israel and wants to return home as a result of this incident.

Cohen told officers that he had been visiting with a friend in the same complex that night.

He was arrested after being tased by officers when they say he tried to run away. Police booked him into the Tempe City Jail, then he was transported to the 4th Avenue Jail to stand before a judge.

Yeah, that's a logical conclusion to draw from what I said.

What I meant was that the thread would turn into a retarded argument between those who would have shot the guy and those who would insist it was an impossible and dangerous shot to attempt.
