Hamden police arrested a 29-year-old man after he fired a shot during a brawl near his home on First Street Saturday night, police said.
Marvin Medwinter, 29, is facing multiple charges including unlawful discharge of a firearm.
Officers responded to 145 First Street on Saturday, Sept. 20 after receiving a call at about 10:30 p.m. reporting a fight and shots fired in the area.
The people involved in a physical altercation left the scene by the time police arrived. Officers determined in the investigation that Medwinter fired a gun in the air in an effort to "break up the fight," according to police.
Hamden officers arrested him and took him to the police station. Police charged Medwinter with unlawful discharge of a firearm and first-degree reckless endangerment.
Police released him after he posted a $1,000 bond. Medwinter is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Oct. 1.
