Twin brothers Clay and Christopher Parkman, 17, arrived at their home near Olympia, Wash., Monday to discover a back door window shattered. They assumed someone had broken in, but did not know the intruder was still in the house, kirotv.com reports.
The Parkmans chased the burglar into a bedroom and to a window, and then "acted on instinct," Clay Parkman told kirotv.com. Clay jumped over the bed and pushed the man out a second-story window. The suspect fell 20 feet to the ground, landing on his head on the concrete, kirotv.com reports.
"He didn't scream or anything," Clay Parkman told kirotv.com. "He was just looking at me the whole way down."
The brothers ran to their car and followed the burglar as he ran away on foot into nearby woods. The police arrived shortly thereafter and the suspect was arrested, kirotv.com reports, and charged with attempted burglary, breaking and entering, and damaging the concrete walkway after impacting it with his head.
The unidentified burglar received treatment for minor abrasions after complaining of something of a headache, but was listed in good condition at the medical facilities in the Thurston County Jail.
