Just wanted to pass along that a strange person was knocking at our door last night at about 4:30 a.m.  He was a young Hispanic male, in his early to mid twenties.  He knocked on the door groaning "help".  I asked him if he needed police or the paramedics through the door.  At first he wanted an ambulance, then he changed his mind and had me call a relative of his to pick him up.  He repeatedly asked to come inside the house.  We have security cameras outside, and when I reviewed the video this morning I noticed that at several points he tried to enter our front door.  He also spent several minutes beforehand in the alley between our house and the one next to ours.  His pain seemed to come and go and he appeared more interested in coming inside our house than getting help.  About 45 minutes later his family member came and picked him up.

Attached are two pictures of the person from our cameras.
