An Australian man used a chainsaw and a trident to scare off home invaders. 

Heatly resident, Johnny Smith was playing video games with a friend when a man knocked on his door around 9:30 Tuesday night; thinking it was another friend, Smith opened his door to find an unfamiliar young man.

“He walked in, asked for some guy and I said he didn’t live here,” Smith told Townsville Bulletin. 

“All of a sudden all we heard was the back door opening and another man walked through the back door.

“I had a tire iron against the wall and the first guy reached down grabbed it and started yelling then the guy who came through the back door slammed me up against the wall, demanding money,” Smith said.
