A man who allegedly broke into houses when having hallucination that he's chasing by creditors has been charged for home invasion, according to Jing’an People’s Procuratorate on Thursday.

The hallucination was result of him taking drugs. Prosecutors said the suspect surnamed Li had methamphetamine, or ice, in a local hotel room on March 2, and then he began hallucinated that his creditors were chasing him, trying to kill him.

Prosecutors said he ran to a nearby residential complex, knocking doors, trying to find shelter. Hearing noises, two families opened doors. Li pushed them away and rushed into their home.

A senior resident, surnamed Chen, was at home at the third floor with her husband and her 92-year-old father, prosecutors said.

“We didn't know him. We want to kick him out. But he ran to my bedroom and planned to jump from the window, during which he kept shouting: ‘I am being chased,’” Chen said.

"I rushed to stop him. But he came back and held tightly our air conditioner in the living room. He also threatened us not to touch him, otherwise he would put up a fight.”

Prosecutors said Li stayed there for about 20 minutes and left after hearing Chen talking to police on the phone. And then, he broke into home of another family on the ninth floor.

Li was later caught at the scene, and police didn't find anyone who was chasing after him, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors found Li was jailed five times in ten years for crimes such as theft and drug trafficking.
