Sydney: An Australian man freaked out so much about a spider in his house that his concerned and scared neighbours alerted the cops as they thought he was murdering a woman.

The residents of Wollstonecraft locality in Sydney called the police at 2 am on Saturday after they heard screams and noises of furniture being thrown and a man shouting loudly. The man was heard bellowing, "I&rsquo;m going to kill you, you&rsquo;re dead! Die! Die!" Neighbours feared that he was attacking and trying to kill a woman &mdash; possibly his girlfriend or wife.
After the call, several patrol cars reached the area, where the cops found a visibly-disturbed man, who was angry at an arachnid that had entered his property.
A report by the New South Wales Police Force Harbourside Local Area Command said officers asked him where his wife or girlfriend was, but he said he didn&rsquo;t have one and that he lived alone.
When the police asked him about the noises, he answered sheepishly, admitting he&rsquo;d been chasing a spider. "It was a spider, a really big one!" he said. The officer, then, asked him about a woman&rsquo;s wail. "Yeah sorry, that was me, I really really hate spiders," he replied. "After a very long pause, some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party we left," the report quotes the police as saying.
