A would-be knight who tried to woo a maiden by riding into her home on a horse is facing five years behind bars for aggravated breaking and entry.

Lovelorn Jan Rudnicki, 40, hatched the scheme to bowl over divorcee Gosia Domoslawska after a night's drinking down his local bar in Jarnoltowka, Poland.

But terrified Gosia, 36, dialed 999 when her drunken suitor - stripped to the waist - galloped up her garden path and smashed his way through the front door like a battering ram.

"He’s a loon. I was at home watching TV with my daughter when I heard this deafening crash and suddenly this half-naked man on a horse appeared in my front room," she said.

"I never fancied him before and I certainly don’t now. If this was supposed to win my heart he must be seriously off his rocker," added Gosia.

Pal Mirek Nowak explained: "At first we thought Jan was joking. But then he went outside, climbed onto this horse - which he’d ridden to the pub - and set off bare-breasted and bare-backed.

"The next thing we knew, he’d been arrested."

Now the divorced dad-of-seven Jan has apologised and offered to replace the door.

But a police spokesman said: "Smashing into someone’s home uninvited is a crime and he will be punished for it."

I wonder what "hey y'all watch this" translates to in Coatian.

[alittlegray]

Or "here, hold my beer..." Lol.

[dressagetraks]

LOL! Hard to believe people are this stupid.

Must say, though, that last line is a bit interesting. "Smashing into someone's home uninvited is a crime."

How often are people invited to smash into someone's home?

With what phrase does a fairy tale traditionally begin?

"Once upon a time,..................."

With what phrase does a Southern fairy tale begin?

"Here, hold my beer and watch this!"

Mr. Rudnicki has relatives here, I think.

too funny how closely the name looks like redneck -

Rudnicki = redneck.

[Alagirl]

WW2 the Polish began fighting tanks by horseback... sigh

That was / is a myth started by the Germans, the usual true story is the Polish cavarly attack German light forces (scouts and infantry units) and where thenthey were attacked by the panzer. I know off topic, but I am a cavalry bluff.

That is one of the craziest ideas I have ever heard, drunls can be funny and a pain in the rear regardless of where they are.

Poor horse.

Why does the thread title say "Croatian"? The event happened in Poland. Rudnicki is a Polish name. What's the Croatian connection?

Probably the paper's name...

From google translate, Red could be translated as "Rudy" and Neck could be translated as "Nek"

Of course, the guy typing with a witz/wicz in his last name thinks the OTHER translations with szcyw all jumbled up are probably a bit more accurate

[SanJacMonument]

The horse looks good, but the guy could have sucked in his belly for the photo!
