Terrifying moment attacker tries to smash his way into home with bike lock after chasing a stranger
This is the shocking moment when an assailant tried to force his way into a house after chasing a woman he attacked on the street.
The woman was on FaceTime with a friend when she was randomly attacked by 22-year-old Gulwali Stanezay in Harlesden, northwest London, on Feb. 26.
Terrified, she managed to flee to the home of a stranger who bravely sheltered her.
The homeowner said her partner heard a commotion outside their home before seeing a woman running from a man outside their door.

The footage – captured by two cameras on the side and above their door – then shows Stanezay making long runs to the door to try and kick it over.
When this doesn’t work, he smashes one of the cameras with a D-lock and then uses it to hit the glass windows on the front of the door.
The homeowner inside can be heard yelling “Christ” as Stanezay slams the door for over a minute.
Towards the end of the video, a police officer arrives and says, “We tried our best to find him and we chased him…and we couldn’t find him.”

He also explained that the police were very busy that night as Wembley Stadium was hosting the Carabao Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle United.
In March, the brave homeowner told the Spiegel: “They kept saying they couldn’t give me an estimated time of arrival due to an event at Wembley.
“I am definitely traumatized now. You can feel it slowly creeping in.
“When we’re on the phone, we don’t get any empathy from the moderator.
“And when the police arrived, they drove in the opposite direction up the road where everyone was pointing where the man had gone.”
When police arrived on the scene, the householder claimed the first thing they did was inspect the scene outside.
She further claimed that the officers present did not ask her about CCTV, such as her door camera, until 40 minutes later.
Before the 22-year-old started to break down the door, the friend was able to contact the woman via Facetime, who went looking for her father.
He eventually ran into Stanezay and was beaten by him.
Stanezay was arrested on March 1, three days after police were called with reports of two people being attacked and vehicles damaged at the site.
He has since pleaded guilty to two counts of grievous bodily harm and two counts of criminal damage, meaning these gruesome images can now be released.
After pleading guilty to two counts of grievous bodily harm and two counts of criminal damage, he will be sentenced at Harrow Crown Court on July 6.

After being remanded in pre-trial detention on 6 July pending sentencing, he will be sentenced at Harrow Crown Court on July 6.
At the time, the woman told the Mirror that while the ordeal traumatized her, she felt no “maliciousness” towards him and hoped he gets the “care he needs.”
More than 200,000 burglaries — nearly 600 a day — went unsolved by police last year, shocking figures revealed in April.
Crime statistics published by the government showed that 77 per cent of cases in England and Wales were closed by police with no suspect identified.
It means 209,424 domestic burglaries, or 574 a day, went unsolved, the Liberal Democrats’ analysis of official data revealed.
Separate data from the Home Office showed that only 5.1 percent of “violence against person” offenses resulted in a suspect being brought to justice. This was 6.6 percent for theft and 4.3 percent for thefts.
Of all types of crimes reported last year, only 5.6 percent led to a charge or summons against a suspect – about the same number as the previous year. Another 4 percent led to a ‘hit on the wrist’ punishment.
