A knife-wielding Madison man was arrested Sunday night after a woman found the suspect pounding on her door.
According to the police incident report, Preston J. Barrows, 22, was arrested for disorderly conduct.
The 21-year-old victim told police she did not know the man who showed up to the door of her West Gilman Street apartment.
According to the report, the victim and other residents said the suspect kept saying, ""Are you alive?""
Another resident went into a hallway to see what was happening, Madison Police spokesman Joel DeSpain said. The resident went back into his apartment and locked the door after allegedly seeing the suspect holding the knife over his head.
""The intoxicated suspect struggled with police and ended up going to the detox center,"" DeSpain said.
