A young father who confronted and tackled a suspected thief in his garage while wearing nothing but his underwear and wielding a tyre iron has been praised as a hero.
Brodie Reynolds confronted an 'African' teenager who was hiding from police in his Melton West home on Monday morning, detaining him until he could be arrested, according to 7News.
The teenager was one of five 'African' youths who allegedly tried to break into a home in Brookfield before fleeing across a freeway and trying to hide from police on Haywood Grove, the publication reported.
