CALGARY -- Rather than waking up to a lazy Boxing Day, five Calgarians were instead roused by a frenzied stranger smashing his way into their home and lashing out at the people inside.

Police were first called about 5 a.m. when a citizen was concerned about a young man waking in the bitter cold in the 400 block of 26 St. N.W.

Insp. Paul Stacey said the man, who was barefoot, was reportedly stripping off other items of clothing until he was left only wearing pants.
