My drunk friend ran full speed into my apartment and into an open cabinet door, and tore the door right off its hinges. Can I repair this?

Question

So, if you can imagine it, the head-height cabinet door, I would say out of 3/4" MDF, was absentmindedly swung open, and my friend ran into the door, against the swing direction. So the door was torn right off, the hinge still attached to the door and two holes in the casement.

Any ideas as to how I can repair this, perhaps an epoxy to squeeze into the holes and re-screw the hinge?

The friend is fine by the way, he's now kept away from my apartment  :)

It sort of depends upon how serious is the damage.  Get a Dremel tool and saw out the crack big enough to get epoxy down into it or to cut out the broken piece.  Epoxy the what needs to be glued and then fill in the gap with epoxy wood filler.  Look at the JB Weld website and you will find some products that should work.
