A man was arrested Tuesday morning after police say he kicked in two doors and attacked his ex-girlfriend at her home in Alachua.

Alfabian Gerwayne Conner, 29, of Lake City, allegedly knocked on his ex-girlfriend's door and yelled to let him in. When the victim refused to let him in, Conner kicked in the front door, according to a police report.

The victim attempted to lock herself in a bedroom, but Conner also kicked in that door, according to the report.

Conner then attacked the victim, choking, biting and striking her several times. Conner also struck the face of a child being held by the victim, according to the report.

Another person that was in the house went to assist the victim, but Conner armed himself with a butcher knife and threatened to kill both victims. The victims were able to get out of the house as Conner came after them with the knife, according to the report.

Officers J. Horn and D. Parks arrived at the scene and took Conner into custody.

There were three children, including the child who was struck in the face, in the residence at the time of the incident, according to the report.

Conner was charged with armed burglary, aggravated battery, battery by strangulation, child abuse, aggravated assault and criminal mischief. He is being held at the Alachua County Jail on $47,000 bond.
