CORTLANDT — A Peekskill man faces felony charges in the home invasion of an ex-girlfriend's apartment where police say he struggled with a 15-year-old girl who was inside with a 2-year-old at the time.

Christian Inga, who state police said is an undocumented immigrant from Ecuador, has been charged with first-degree burglary and second degree attempted kidnapping, felonies. Additional charges are expected as an investigation continues.

The break-in was reported by a neighbor who heard screams around 6:40 p.m. Friday and called 911. Arriving troopers say they found Inga attempting to flee out of a rear window. Police did not disclose the location of the home invasion.

Inga was said to be wearing all black at the time, including a black bandana over his face, a black hat and black gloves.

He was to be remanded to the Westchester County Jail in Valhalla following arraignment. Police filed an Immigration and Customs detainer.
The arrest was made by Trooper Peter A. Zerrle and investigators Sean J. Morgan and Paul M. Schneeloch of the Cortlandt barracks.
