A man was reportedly arrested over the weekend after he tried to break into Taylor Swift's apartment, according to the New York Daily News.

When he arrived at Swift's home, located in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City, the man tried to force his way inside before being apprehended, police sources told the Daily News.

It's unclear whether Swift was home at the time of the incident. Representatives for the singer didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

The man, named in the Daily News' report as 52 year-old Hanks Johnson, has reportedly showed up at Swift's Tribeca home at least five times in the past six months and has other stalking charges currently pending.

A criminal complaint cited by the Daily News said that the head of security at Swift's building told him he's not welcome there.

This isn't the first time Swift has had to deal with an unwanted visitor in her home.

In 2018, Page Six reported that 22-year-old Roger Alvarado from Florida allegedly broke into the pop star's three-story townhouse.

When police responded to a call about a burglary at Swift's residence, they found a ladder leading up to a broken window at the Franklin Street home - then found Alvarado sleeping in one of Swift's empty beds.

Alvarado had reportedly also taken a shower, according to police sources.

He was arrested by police and charged with felony stalking, burglary, criminal mischief, and criminal trespass.
