A Durham Police spokesman said: "The couple, who answered the knock on their door just after 0200 BST, were rather surprised and not a little flustered to find uniformed police on the doorstep.
"Their dishevelled appearance was soon explained - it seems the physical activity taking place had been of the amorous rather than violent kind.
"In the throes of passion they had managed to roll on top of the telephone, which was resting on the floor, and accidentally depressed the number nine button."
This registered in the system as an incomplete emergency call, prompting the police response.
