A Somerville man broke into his girlfriend’s apartment on Aug. 28 by pushing an air conditioner out of a window, police said.

Christian Perez, 34, of 1 Minnesota Ave., Aug. 28, 7:53 p.m., was arrested and charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime for a felony and witness intimidation.

Police said Perez was asked to leave his girlfriend’s home by her and officers. After police warned him to stay away, Perez allegedly climbed in the window and the victim fled from the house, police said.

Police allegedly found Perez inside the apartment trying to put the air conditioner back in.

While police waited for the wagon, Perez allegedly yelled at the victim that he would retaliate.
