A young woman shared horrifying footage of her male neighbor allegedly ‘harassing’ her and trying to break into her home by smashing a hole through her wall.
The US-based woman, named Maddy, who goes by the username @MaddyPanic on TikTok, became terrified after she claimed her neighbor began knocking on her door and trying to get into her apartment.
She said the man – who lives across the hall from her – ‘stalked’ her for ‘months’ before he attempted to enter her home – leaving a giant crack in her wall from where he allegedly tried to break through.
According to Maddy, the unnamed man would stand outside her door, rattle her doorknob, and write messages for her, leaving her fearing for her safety with no help from authorities.
Maddy claimed she was so scared that she slept with a ‘machete’ near her at all times, and installed extra locks and alarms around her house.
She said she eventually filed an Anti-Stalking Order against him, however, she claimed police told her they take ‘reactive measures’ not ‘precautionary measures’ and couldn’t do anything to prevent his behavior.

She said she wanted to ‘publicly document’ this actions ‘just in case’ something bad happened – so she uploaded the whole thing to TikTok, where it quickly went viral
Explaining her reasoning for sharing videos of her neighbor on TikTok, Maddy said she wanted to ‘publicly document’ this actions ‘just in case’ something bad happened; her clips have gained more than six million views in a matter of days.
‘What it’s like to be a woman living alone. My neighbor has been harassing me for months. I’ve reported him several times. Publicly documenting just in case,’ Maddy wrote in her first video, which showed the unnamed man standing right outside her door and knocking loudly.

It then cut to a clip of her doorknob rattling like someone was attempting to enter her apartment – as the man could be heard mumbling incoherent things from the other side of the door.
‘I can’t wait to move out of this apartment,’ she captioned it.
In a follow-up video, Maddy claimed that she had filed a report with the police and with her apartment complex, but said they told her there wasn’t much they could do.
‘My apartment complex says that if it happens again within 30 days, that’s when they’ll be able to do something,’ she explained.
‘The cops says it’s on the landlord to evict the guy. My lease is up in September so you bet I’m getting out of here in September.’
Maddy added that she sleeps with ‘a machete’ nearby, in case he does find a way into her apartment.
‘I’m trying to protect myself. I get that it’s serious, you guys are freaking me out,’ she continued.
‘I’ve called the police, I’ve spoken to my landlord, I’ve had my brothers come over and try to spook the guy. I don’t know what you want from me but I’m trying my best. I promise you that.’

However, according to Maddy, the police didn’t do anything about her complaints.
‘I filed for a PFS order,’ she wrote in a TikTok, which showed two police officers knocking on her neighbor’s door.
‘Chat with me real quick,’ one could be heard saying from outside the man’s apartment.
He then opened his door and screamed, ‘What? Bye,’ before he shut it again.
‘That’s literally all the cops did. He yelled at them and they walked away,’ Maddy said.
‘They said that they don’t take precautionary measures, they take reactive measures.
‘So even with property damage, even with the months-worth of reported stalking, even with the footage of him trying to break into my apartment, even with the fact that he has warrants out for his arrest in another state – none of that is enough to get the guy locked up. So he’s still free.
‘Apartment complex said they’re gonna try to evict him,’ she continued. ‘I’m in a new apartment, I got my baseball bat, I have several large knives and several cans of wasp spray.’
In one final video, Maddy revealed that she was much happier in her new apartment, adding that she had ‘no updates’ to give and that it was the ‘end of the saga.’
