Do I have to let someone in to use my toilet?

I let a stranger into my flat. He came to my door desperate for the toilet and, being the nice person i am, I have let him in. Problem is this was an hour ago and he's been in there since then, stinking the place up.
I shouted through the door to see if he was ok and he said to leave him alone he was on the toilet *which he clearly is*. I replied that this is my bloody flat and I was trying to do him a favour and he is now saying that I had no choice and by law I had to let him in.
Short of phoning the police over such a stupid matter, what do i do?

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.
I'm stuck in someone's bathroom! I only popped in for a moment but the door's broken, but I'm too embarrassed to say. Ah well, might as well make the most of it...I'll have a bath.Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

Turn the water off at the stopcock.
Is leaving something in the toilet the exact opposite of burglary??0 -
You my friend have a squatter.
In all seriousness, be careful, turn the water off and get the police in.Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
i told him i was going to phone the cops, and get someone down to beat the crap out of him, and he just shouted that he's having a bath and leaving. he doesnt sound angry, just quite adamant. im sitting in the next room and i can hear him splashing about.0

Once you have called the police stay out of his way and don't interact with him anymore, this isn't the actions of a normal person and you can't be sure of where it could escalate to.
Letting total strangers in, especially at night isn't that good an idea (as you have now found out)====0
