SOUTH BEND — A woman in the 400 block of South Gladstone Street hid under the bed and called 911 Tuesday afternoon, telling police an unknown man with a gun burst into her home through the back door, South Bend Police Capt. Phil Trent said.

The suspect was positively identified by the resident who called 911, Trent said.

He was arrested on suspicion of robbery.
