SouthSide Man Assaulted at Home

A Palmer Township man was jailed Tuesday after Bethlehem police charged with taking part in a home invasion.

Police say Alexander Paul, 22, of 54 Corrier Rd., was one of two men who attacked Daniel Stein early Sunday morning because they believed Stein was "disrespecting" a female friend of theirs.

According to court papers, police were called to Stein's home at 510 E. Fifth St., where they found him suffering from numerous injuries as the result of the attack. Stein would later be diagnosed with a broken nose and a concussion, and would need five stitches on his face.

When police caught up to Paul, he admitted to taking part in the attack on Stein because he "believed that Daniel Stein was 'disrespecting' and mistreating" a woman he was in a relationship with.

Paul was charged with aggravated assault, burglary, criminal trespass and criminal conspiracy. He was arraigned before District Judge Daniel Corpora of Easton and is free after posting 10 percent of $5,000 bail.
