Man Accused Of Forcing Entry Into Home, Assaulting Woman

A Philadelphia man is accused of forcing his way into a Bristol Township home and attacking a woman on Monday evening.

Darrien McBride, 32, was arrested after a brief search that ended in a neighboring township, according to Bristol Township police.

Officers responded to a report of an assault on Lloyd Street in the Levittown section of Bristol Township at 5:24 p.m. Monday.

At the scene, a woman told police that McBride, who she knew and was no longer permitted at the residence, forced entry into a locked room.

Once inside the room, McBride allegedly assaulted the woman, throwing her around the room, threatening to kill her, and dragging her into the kitchen, police said.

McBride then slammed the woman into a kitchen table before fleeing the home, according to police.

Responding officers noted in court papers that the woman suffered several visible injuries.

McBride fled the scene in a box truck, police said.

Officers from the Middletown Township Police Department located and stopped the vehicle shortly after in their municipality, authorities said.

McBride was detained at the traffic stop and placed under arrest.

McBride has been charged with burglary, criminal trespassing, terroristic threats, simple assault, and harassment. District Judge Kevin Wagner set bail at 10 percent of $300,000.
