   An 11-year-old boy in North Carolina struck an intruder in the   
   back of the head with a machete to foil a home invasion on   
   Friday, according to reports.   
      
   The boy, who was home alone, answered a knock on the front door   
   and saw a woman standing there. Simultaneously, a man broke into   
   the home through a window and used the homeowner's pellet gun to   
   force the child into a bedroom closet.   
      
   The boy escaped the closet and grabbed a machete, using it to   
   strike the man in the head.   
      
   He reportedly kicked the child in the stomach but the boy did   
   not give up, swinging again at him but missing. The man again   
   kicked the boy, and began to grab several items, including a   
   television and a PlayStation, but fled the home without the   
   electronics when he realized he was bleeding, according to a   
   news release from the Orange County Sherriff's Office.   
      
   The woman and a second man provided the getaway vehicle for the   
   three intruders and drove away.   
      
   Police responded to a 911 call after 11 a.m. when the break-in   
   occurred, and alerted local hospitals to be on the lookout for   
   someone with a head wound.   
      
   When 19-year-old Jataveon Dashawn Hall, checked into UNC   
   Hospital in Hillsborough, authorities were alerted. He's due in   
   court on Monday, facing charges of breaking and entering, second-   
   degree kidnapping, interfering with emergency communications and   
   assaulting on a child under 12 years old.   
      
   Additional charges are pending against Hall and the two other   
   suspects.
