An Altoona man that police said was drunk, is accused of violently forcing his way into a woman’s home and attacking her husband. Altoona police were called to a home on the 300 block of Bell Avenue just before 1 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3. to find 39-year-old John Mattiello yelling and screaming. Police noted in the affidavit that he smelled like alcohol and had blood on him from cuts on his own hands. After arresting Mattiello, police spoke with witnesses in the home who all stated that Mattiello showed up at the house and began pounding on the door. A friend in the house woke up the woman and husband who came downstairs. The woman told police she knew Mattiello from classes they both attended and that he was infatuated with her and even threatened her husband.
