Late night visitor

By MELISSA MEEHAN

A MAN is undergoing psychiatric evaluation after police picked him up wandering the streets of Belgrave this morning.
Belgrave police Sergeant Mick Hall said that the man is currently undergoing evaluation at the Angliss Hospital after he had previously entered a house in Regnan Road, Kallista.
A Kallista resident, who did not want to be named, said the man knocked on his door at 3am.
“My son let him in thinking he was my other son coming home late from work,” he said.
“He sat down in my lounge and I tried to talk to him but he just got straight up and walked back out the open front door.”
