District Duty Officer Senior Sergeant Joe Matheson said the woman had woken before screaming at the man.
‘She saw this male run from her bedroom and exit the dwelling into the backyard,’ he said.
He added that the victim then chased the man out of the house, before locking the door to the laundry.
The Rapid Action Patrol group attended the scene and carried out a search for the man.

Officers are still searching for the man, who reportedly also stole a purse and mobile phone from the home.
Police have urged people to be vigilant following a series of 14 break-ins in Townsville of homes, businesses and cars.
Among the items stolen were vehicles, credit cards, electronic devices and jewellery.
‘By ensuring homes and vehicles are locked and property secured, it will decrease the likelihood of becoming a victim of an opportunist crime,’ they said in a statement online.
