Multiple officers arrive at home to find Perth man with ‘serious fear’ of arachnids ‘trying to kill a spider’
Police in Western Australia have confirmed they sent multiple officers to an emergency call that turned out to be a screaming man with a “serious fear” of spiders.
A concerned passerby was walking outside a house in suburban Perth when they heard a toddler screaming and a man repeatedly shouting “Why don’t you die?”
After they called triple zero, officers arrived to find a man “trying to kill a spider”, who apologised for having an extreme fear of the arachnid.

Given that anything in Australia which isn't woolly is hell bent on visiting death upon the unwary, it's probably a reasonable stance to take.
