\u201cWe heard the door knock, we opened the door, there was a guy outside – he said someone is trying to kill him and then he asked us to help him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just called the cops.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police suspect the incident is linked to an earlier disturbance at the same home from 11pm on Saturday night, where \u201cseveral people allegedly attempted to gain entry to the property and caused significant damage\u201d.<\/p>\n
