Asher Keddie has survived a harrowing burglary after an intruder broke into the Melbourne home she shares with husband Vincent Fantauzzo and their two children.
According to a report in the Herald Sun on Wednesday, the Offspring star's husband leapt into action and heroically tackled a man who attempted to steal a motorbike from the couple's St Kilda home on December 28.
It was reported Asher, 50, saw the would-be thief wheeling a Ducati away from their property at 7am in the morning.
She quickly alerted her husband, 48, who raced out to stop the brazen burglar before a fight broke out between the two.
A passerby, upon witnessing the struggle, assisted Vincent in overpowering the 44-year old robber until police arrived on the scene.
While the couple declined to comment about the incident, a Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed the terrifying ordeal.
