BENSALEM, Pa. (CBS) — A suspect, who police say masturbated on the deck of an apartment he broke into, was shot by a resident after he tried to break into a second apartment in Bucks County.

The bizarre incident happened at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday at the Franklin Commons Apartments in Bensalem.

According to the Bensalem Police Department, the suspect, identified by police as 21-year-old Angel Suarez Medero, gained entry to the deck of a second floor apartment and began to masturbate there.

The female resident of the apartment spotted the suspect on the deck and called 911 and then ran to a neighboring apartment.

Police say Suarez Medero forcefully broke into the apartment through the sliding glass door. Investigators say he then jumped out of the second floor bedroom window.

According to investigators, Suarez Medero then gained entry into another nearby apartment that was occupied.

Suarez Medero is accused of assaulting two of the occupants before being shot twice by the resident of the apartment.

After being shot twice, a struggle ensued with the resident of the apartment and continued until Suarez Medero was eventually subdued by police.

The suspect was taken to Aria Torresdale Hospital for treatment and is listed in critical condition.

Suarez Medero, of Bensalem, will be charged with burglary, assault and related offenses once his condition improves.

The resident who shot the suspect is cooperating with police and his firearm was legally owned and registered, police said.
