Wild footage has emerged of the moment a teenager tried to break into a Queensland home, only to be fought off by a tradie.

Darcy McInnes was near his home in South Mackay on November 10 when a masked teenager scaling the back fence and veranda railing, trying to force his way into the property.

Working only a short distance from the house, Mr McInnes received a security alert and immediately rushed back, grabbing a hunting for protection.

The tradie then confronted the intruder before chasing him down, followed by his dog and a friend, who helped him make a citizen’s arrest.

On social media, Mr McInnes said he was lucky to be working so close to home when the incident occurred.

“(The teenager) started crying when he was confronted, scared the f**k outta the little grub,” he wrote.
