You have to meet the criteria for detention.

I read attempted burglary and assault, are the police actually charging the guy with anything, is he out on bail?

I'm not sure we have all the necessary information available.......

Be a law abiding, tax paying citizen.

Cripes!

I think folks should cut the OP a bit of slack. Based on his description this must have been a harrowing experience

Regarding detention or otherwise obviously there isn't enough information to definitively comment, particularly as the information that the perpetrator has "mental issues" seems to be conjecture by someone who isn't a mental health professional

Years ago I mislaid my house keys and had to resort to trying to kick open the front door. By the third kick (ex-bank, strong doors), people had stopped to watch then a group of men ran out of the pub opposite to stop me. I was in the middle of explaining myself when the police arrived.

Either different times or a quite different neighbourhood.

what do you have to do in this country to get detained

Rig LIBOR, fiddle the US stock exchange from your Mum's bedroom, or change your name to Cliff.

You may have a point there.
