A VIDEO clip of a drunken trespasser who fell asleep on a family’s living room floor in North Yorkshire has become a YouTube sensation.

More than 150,000 people have watched the clip on the internet site which shows police in Scarborough waking the intruder up.

Homeowner Bobbie Brewington said he, his wife and their two-year-old daughter, were awakened by a crash at midnight and saw a man passed out in his living room. He said he filmed the man for protection – “in case he did anything” – and later posted the clip online.

The video has attracted hundreds of comments with many praising the two patient police officers who responded to the incident.
