A police officer has risked his life trying to arrest a man wanted over a home invasion.
A 21-YEAR-OLD woman is too scared to sleep in her family home after a man threatened her with a hammer in a violent home invasion.
Police are searching for the man, whose vehicle is shown in the above video, who broke into the woman's Bunbury home on Friday night.
The woman, who wished to remain nameless for safety reasons, said she had been taken home by a friend about midnight and was about to go to bed when she heard a strange noise in her backyard.

She originally thought she was being paranoid because her home had been broken into twice over the Christmas season.
"But then I heard someone trying one of the back doors, so I yelled out hoping they would go away and be scared by me," she said.
"Then I heard really loud banging on the back window."
Before she could do anything, the man smashed into her living room.
"He was on one side of the dining room so I picked up a chair to put something between us," she said.
"He brought the hammer so close to my head and screamed at me 'Where's your money?' and kept screaming at me."

He left her home with her purse.
After he left, a neighbour, who had heard the commotion, came to help, armed with a bat.
He chased the offender down the street and gave police a description of a vehicle, later involved in a chase.
Police located the Toyota Hilux and pulled it over when an officer was dragged by the car when the driver attempted to take off.
Police then had to abort a chase due for safety reasons.

The woman said she was very angry someone had made her feel unsafe in her family home.
"I'm shocked someone could commit a crime like this but on the other hand it shows how amazing some people can be to come out of their home and put themselves in danger to help me," she said.
"But I'm really angry that someone has made me feel scared in my own home - I grew up in that house and now I can't even sleep there."
Anyone with any information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
