Daniel Fleming, 25, is accused of punching a man, 52, on the side of the head for no apparent reason and later entering an apartment where a woman, 61, and boy, 13, were asleep by breaking the living room window. The two occupants of the apartment locked themselves in a bathroom to get away from
Fleming, who tried to break down the bathroom door, according to police.
Police responding to the scene allegedly saw Fleming leaving the apartment but he ignored orders to stop and allegedly told police to kill him. He went back into the unit but was arrested at 1:48 a.m. while attempting to flee through a rear bedroom window.
Fleming was charged with second-degree assault and first-degree burglary. He is being held in lieu of $30,000 bail pending an initial appearance today at District Court.
