A BLUFF domestic worker was the hero of the day when she defended herself and her owner’s home against an invader on Wednesday night, 25 July.
A home invader armed with a knife held up the domestic worker, who lives in a cottage on the property.
“We received a call from the resident in the main house about an intruder on the property,” said Andreas Mathios from Blue Security.

According to the domestic worker, the criminal had forced his way into her home through the main door to the cottage, and attempted to stab her with a knife. She managed to successfully defend herself with a broomstick and escape the attack unharmed.
“Our armed response officer responded swiftly to the property and arrested the man who was still on the premises and armed with a knife,” Mathios said.
Brighton Beach SAPS attended the scene of the crime.
