He’s a modern-day Kevin McCallister.
A 12-year-old boy stopped a burglar who broke in while he was home alone Tuesday — after the kid jumped from his bedroom window and called the cops, police said.Â
The clever kid was alone in his home on Eagle Avenue in Medford around 12:50 p.m. when he heard glass shatter downstairs and the sound of the prowler’s footsteps in the kitchen, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
The boy opened his window and leaped out to the yard, where he spotted the homeless intruder, Christian Garcia, 53, lurking inside the home, cops said.

The heroic child hid in the yard and dialed 911 on his phone.Â
Police descended on the scene within three minutes and arrested Garcia inside the house.Â

Garcia allegedly broke a kitchen window before getting inside the property, cops said.Â
The child was not injured.
Garcia was charged with burglary and possession of burglar tools. He was awaiting arraignment Wednesday at First District Court in Central Islip.Â
