NFL legend Joe Montana and his wife were forced to wrestle one of their grandchildren away from an intruder who crept inside their California home, report said.

The frightening incident took place around 5pm on Saturday at a Malibu residence where the couple was staying.

The alleged intruder, identified by police as Sodsai Dalzell, 39, crept into the home through an unlocked door, authorities told the TMZ Sports.

Authorities said Dalzell happened across the sleeping nine-month-old baby, removed them from a playpen and held them in her arms.

TMZ Sports reports that the intruder was soon confronted by Joe and Jennifer Montana.

The couple asked Dalzell to give back the child, but eventually a physical tussle ensued and Jennifer was able to safely pry the child away.

Deputies with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department were in the area for an unrelated matter, but someone inside the home notified them of the incident.

The intruder fled the home, but was detained a few blocks away by authorities. She was charged with kidnapping and burglary. Authorities said no one was injured during the incident.

Joe Montana spoke out for the first time on Sunday afternoon to thank everyone for their well wishes.

That is crazy but it happening a lot more these days. Glad Jennifer got the grandchild away from the intruder!
