He then ran to the door and jumped up at the window, smashing through the glass with his arms and upper body.

Dinardo was taken to hospital where he had 12 stitches on his arm. He also suffered minor scrapes on his side, neck and behind his ear.

His roommate Jeff Moore tweeted: 'Everyone please look at what I have to deal with on a daily basis. Go dawgs? '

He is now trying to raise money to replace their window on GoFundMe.
