PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Action News has obtained the 911 call made by Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox during an alleged burglary at his Gloucester County, New Jersey home.

The man, identified as Corbyn Nyemah, has been charged with burglary, criminal mischief and other related charges.
According to court records, Nyemah of Marcus Hook, Delaware County, allegedly damaged his vehicle before attempting to forcibly enter the home by throwing rocks through the front door.
Court records also reveal surveillance cameras at Cox's home capturing Nyemah walking around the exterior of the property with a baseball bat and attempting to enter the garage multiple times.
After Cox armed himself with a shotgun, he called police reporting a man attempting to break into his home.
Nyemah then fled in his Porsche SUV.
U.S. Marshals captured Nyemah late last week.
Nyemah, who posted bond, told Action News he was trying to talk with his ex-girlfriend who was inside Cox's home.
Fortunately no one was injured during the alleged break-in.
Cox has refused to discuss the incident, calling it a private matter.
