A Louisiana man hid in his ex-girlfriend’s attic — storing water and food, and peeing in empty bottles — before attacking her in her home, authorities said.

Taylor Broussard, 21, faces a slew of charges that include stalking, battery and aggravated assault for the May 3 attack at the woman’s home in Larose, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office. Broussard was arrested Wednesday in Baton Rouge.

Police say Broussard punched the woman several times in front of a young child in the home before threatening her at knifepoint and slashing several items in the home. The enraged man then stole the woman’s purse, phone and her SUV as he left the residence, authorities said.

Cops investigating the crime later found that Broussard had been stalking the woman — hiding in the woman’s attic for an unknown period of time. Deputies found bedding, water bottles, food and plastic bottles filled with urine in the attic, WWL-TV reports.

Deputies had been called to the residence a few days before the alleged attack, when Broussard was accused of entering the home without permission on April 29.

Broussard was collared after troopers from the Louisiana State Police located the woman’s stolen Mitsubishi Outlander in Baton Rouge. He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail on nine outstanding active warrants in Lafourche Parish in addition to the stolen vehicle.

Broussard will also face charges of domestic abuse, battery with child endangerment and domestic abuse aggravated assault in Lafourche Parish, according to sheriff officials.
