Sydney man charged with trespassing after watching woman sleep

A woman has woken up in the middle of the night to find an unknown man watching her sleep in Sydney's inner west.

The woman told police she saw the man staring through a window of her Stanmore home at 2am on Tuesday March 31.

She called her housemate and they then saw the man allegedly walking in and out of other neighbouring properties on Cannon Street.

A 51-year-old man was arrested yesterday and charged with trespassing.

He is due to face court today in Sydney.
