A naked, bloody man near the scene of a Lehigh Township fire Thursday night had screamed at an officer and said that he was possessed by a demon, according to court records.
Firefighters and police officers were met with the bizarre scene in Northampton County.
Just after 9 p.m., officers were called to the 1100 block of Quince Road for reports of a naked, bloody man jumping on someone's car, and a house fire nearby.
The driver of the car told police she saw the fire and stopped to help. That's when Pammer, 24, jumped on her car, forced his way inside the car, assaulted the woman and tried to restrain her, police said. The woman was able to escape and call 911.
Officers arrived to find a two-family home engulfed in flames, while a man, later identified as Zachary Pammer, was sitting naked inside a car in the middle of the road, said Lehigh Township police.
