A man broke into a North Portland home early Sunday morning, sat down on a couch in the living room and started watching television.

At 7:29 a.m., Portland police officers responded to a residence in the 7100 block of North Fowler Avenue. Prior to officers arriving, dispatch advised the officers that someone in the home had "punched out" the suspect and was restraining him until police arrived.

Officers arrested 32-year-old Jason Leon Bastrom. Bastrom was transported by ambulance to an area hospital to be treated for injuries he suffered after being punched by a family member of the homeowner.

Officers learned that Bastrom let himself in through an unlocked front door and sat down on the couch to watch television. After calling 9-1-1, the homeowner called a family member who lived nearby.

The family member came over and confronted Bastrom, telling him to leave. Bastrom got up but had one hand in his pants pocket, causing the family member to fear that Bastrom might have been armed. The family member hit Bastrom one time in the head and knocked him down.

Bastrom was charged with criminal trespass in the first degree and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.
