LEHIGH TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A 24-year-old man is under arrest after a bizarre series of events in Lehigh Township on Thursday night.

Police initially responded to reports of a naked and bloody man jumping on someone's car.

A female driver had stopped to help at that scene along the 1100 block of Quince Road when she saw a home on fire.

Police say the suspect, identified as Zachary Pammer, forced his way into the car and assaulted the woman.
