A Canberra family's had a rude awakening after a kangaroo crashed through a bedroom window and terrorised its unsuspecting occupants.

The family, from the suburb of Garran in Canberra's south were awoken in the early hours of yesterday morning when their pet dog began barking from the garden.

Moments later a kangaroo burst through a three metre high window in the master bedroom and onto the bed where Beat Ettlin his partner Verity Beman and their nine-year-old daughter Beatrix lay.

While the family took refuge under the blankets the injured animal proceeded to jump on top of them, gouging holes in the furniture and smearing blood all over the walls.

The roo then went to their 10-year-old son Leighton's room so Mr Ettlin went after it, wrestled it into a headlock and dragged it out the front door.
