A 24-year-old man was wearing women's lingerie when he was arrested for breaking into a home and getting into a scuffle with its residents, Brandon police said.

The bizarre incident occurred about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday at a home in the 1100 block of Ninth Street in Brandon. After breaking into the home, police said the knife-wielding man confronted a woman in her 40s and began making demands.

The confrontation moved into the kitchen, where the woman grabbed a frying pan and used it to hit the man, cops said. While this was happening, the woman's nephew was awakened and intervened. He held the man until police arrived.

Police said the man, of no fixed address, was taken to Brandon Correctional Centre.

He may face charges of break and enter, being unlawfully in a dwelling house, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats.

His name was not released.
