4 charged in home invasion, stabbings

ENFIELD, Conn. (AP) - Four Connecticut men have been charged in bloody home invasion in Enfield where two other men were stabbed in the face over the weekend.

Police say the suspects barged into a house party on Neelans Road early Sunday morning. When officers arrived, they say they found two men with large open stab wounds on their faces, two injured women and blood all over the upstairs.

Police Chief Carl Sferrazza says the motive isn't clear. But police believe the four men, all from Enfield, targeted people in the house for some reason.

Authorities charged 20-year-old Tyrus Prude, 18-year-old Jovan Pride, 18-year-old William Preston and 18-year-old Issac Velazquez with home invasion, assault and other crimes. They were all held in lieu of bonds of at least $150,000.
