'Vampire' Breaks Into Woman's Home, Bites Her
Police: Texas Man Tried Dragging Woman Down Hall

GALVESTON, Texas -- Police arrested a man who they say broke into a woman's apartment and bit her on the neck, claiming to be a vampire.

Investigators said Lyle Bensley used his foot to break the door down and get inside the woman's apartment, Houston TV station KPRC reported.



"He got inside and was hissing at her and growling at her and did attempt to bite her on the back of the neck," Galveston police Capt. Jeff Heyes said.

Bensley then started dragging the woman down the hallway, but she managed to get away.

A neighbor helped her escape and call police, according to KPRC.

Officers arrived at the apartment complex a few minutes later and found Bensley in the parking lot wearing boxers. He was arrested and charged with burglary.

The woman suffered minor injuries but did not have to go the hospital.
