(ABC 6 News) – A man is behind bars in Rochester for an alleged burglary, Rochester police said Thursday.

According to a press release from the Rochester Police Department (RPD), the incident occurred on October 20 shortly after 1 p.m.

Officers were reportedly dispatched to an active burglary at a home located in the 25 block of Georgetowne Dr. NW. The victim said a man wearing a mask came through the back door and stole a bag or some oranges.

The man then fled on foot toward 52nd Street NW, RPD said.

As Rochester police responded, a man entered the home and screamed while pouring gasoline in the kitchen, according to the news release.

One of the victims allegedly confronted the suspect, who was later identified by RPD as Ian Ajal, 25, of Rochester.

Ajal was dragged out by the victim. A dog at the home also bit and injured Ajal during the confrontation.

According to RPD, officers determined that Ajal was suffering from “drug-induced psychosis.” He was transported to St. Mary’s for treatment.

Ajal faces charges of first-degree burglary.
