Police called to a Yigo home at 2:41 a.m. Sunday found two men fighting with each other on a third-floor balcony, according to a magistrate’s complaint filed in Superior Court.

A woman at the scene told police that an ex-boyfriend, Befery Eram, 26, entered her home, saw another man on the balcony and lunged at him with a knife. According to the complaint, the man resisted and was able to fend off Eram until police arrived.

Eram was charged Monday with second-degree felony robbery and third-degree felony assault.

Police reported that the front door of the home appeared to have been kicked in, with the door frame and latch broken and pieces of wood splintered on the floor.

The man and woman told officers they heard a sound in the middle of the night, and the man told the woman to hide in a bedroom and call police while he investigated. As he sat on the balcony, he heard a loud bang as the front door opened and Eram entered the house, went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and then lunged at him, trying to stab him, it said in the complaint.

At some point, Eram dropped the knife and the police located it on the grass below. The woman told police that she had not been in a relationship with Eram for more than a year and was not allowed to come to her house without her permission.

The man told police he had never met Eram before.
