Halle Barry has a stalker on her hands

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Halle was in her kitchen yesterday when she looked out the window and saw a man staring at her ... holding some sort of book.

Halle ran to the phone, called 911 and the chase began.  An LAPD helicopter circled Halle's home and the area nearby for nearly half an hour, trying in vain to locate the trespasser.   A number of officers in squad cars were on the hunt as well.

Sources say the suspect is the same guy who jumped Halle's security wall on Saturday, triggering the first 911 call.

Thank God Too bad  they don't have a description of the stalker.
