Armed man breaks into house in Toledo and attacks victim

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – A Toledo man was arrested after police say he broke into a home, assaulted someone and fired a gun.

Omar Long Jr., 21, of Toledo, is charged with aggravated burglary, obstruction of public order and resisting law enforcement. He was arrested in the 800 block of St. John Ave. around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, according to Toledo police records.
