Bail has been formally refused for a man charged over a siege at the Sydney home of parents of cricketer Ed Cowan.
Police say Jack Tou Tou Unji was armed with a knife when he broke into the house at Darling Point on Thursday, just a day after the cricketer was picked in the Australian team for the first time.
A neighbour allegedly saw the 36-year-old climbing through a window armed with a knife. He was allegedly leaving when officers showed up.
He then allegedly locked himself inside and threatened self harm, sparking a three-hour operation involving dozens of emergency services officers.
The man was released from hospital into police custody last night and ordered to face court today.
He will appear in again court in early 2012.
Cowan is in line to make his Test debut on Boxing Day.
