NEWINGTON, Conn. -- A man invaded a Newington home overnight, barricading himself inside a 13-year-old girl's room, police said.

Newington police said the girl's father heard the commotion and encountered the door to his daughter's room closed. When he tried to open the door, it wouldn't open, police said.

"After he had gotten into my daughter's room and tried to barricade himself in, I thought someone was in there attacking her," the girl's father, Charlie Day, told Eyewitness News.

According to court documents, the 13-year-old girl was in a state of shock and could not initially move as she sat in the dark room.

She said all she could see was a figure moving around the dark room in a white shirt.

"The girl started to scream for her father for help. The father forced the door open, when he did so, the daughter fled the bedroom and the father confronted a suspect who was inside the home, or he stated that somebody sent him there, and then he quickly fled the home," Newington police Lt. William Darby said.

"When I got face-to-face with him ... I could smell the booze on him and I just figured he was a young kid … and he seemed scared when he saw me so I just wanted to get him out of the house as fast as possible," Day said.

Police responded to the home on Robbins Avenue at about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday to find the assailant fleeing from the house. Police said they believe the alleged act was random.

"The family has no idea who he is. They've never had any contact with him before," Darby said.

Officers responding to the scene said they saw the man on Indian Hill Road, where they chased him through several yards. One officer was injured in the pursuit.

Police identified the arrested man as Daniel Bitcon, 22, of Middletown, and charged him with second-degree burglary, assault on a police officer, interfering with a police officer, risk of injury to a minor, second-degree criminal trespass, second-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

"I think he was probably a little messed up in the head, probably confused, wasn't thinking clearly," Day said. "I have no idea why anyone would choose to break through someone's door, especially when there's six cars in the driveway."

Bitcon's public defender apologized for his client in court on Tuesday, and said that incident was the result of alcohol consumption.

"Last night they went out drinking. His friend weighs 300 pounds, Bitcon about 150 pounds -- Long Island iced teas. They went back to the residence and Mr. Bitcon left the residence on his own and got lost … this is a drunken mistake," said public defender David Cosgrove.

Bitcon's bond was doubled to $200,000 at a Tuesday arraignment.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Len Besthoff reported that Bitcon has previously been convicted of larceny and has one other court case pending against him.
