A resident in City Heights encountered the most unusual discovery: a man who may have been living in an apartment building’s garage for as long as five days.
The resident of the apartment building at University Avenue and 38th Street said he heard noises coming from the garage on Tuesday morning and called San Diego police.
When officers arrived, the owner of the garage opened the door, revealing the intruder inside. A police dog was called in to subdue the man, who was then taken by ambulance to the hospital for an unknown medical reason.
Police said they weren’t sure how the man gained entry to the locked garage, but believe he could have crawled through a hole in the wall hidden by a cabinet.
Neighbors were shocked by the discovery.
“This guy living the garage in the neighborhood for five days,” said neighbor Hector Castillo. “We don’t know who he is.”
Police could not say what led the man to hide in the garage.
