A Middletown man has been charged in a home invasion in New Britain in October.
Police said two men, one of whom had a handgun, forced their way into home on Corbin Avenue in New Britain on Oct. 16 and assaulted the two people inside.
One of the victims had several facial fractures and the other was less seriously injured during the attack, police said.
One of the victims was somehow able to break free, run out of the house and call for help, but the two intruders fled with a small amount of cash, police said.
Police identified Eric Wright, 28, of Middletown, as one of the suspects.
He knew the victims and was wearing a ski mask during the home invasion, but it came off when he struggled with and assaulted the victims, according to police.
Police also found evidence at the scene that pointed to Wright as being involved, police said, and the Connecticut State Forensic Lab assisted with the investigation.
