Investigators say 35-year-old Gabriel Adrian Pizano III forced his way through the front door shortly after 9 pm Sunday and physically assaulted a man inside, leaving the victim with significant facial injuries.
The attack happened at a home off Newcomb and Henderson in Porterville.
By the time officers arrived, Pizano was already gone.
They found him later at another home off South B Street.
He's been booked into the Tulare County Sheriff's office South Detention Facility on $100,000 bail.
