CHICAGO A west suburban man allegedly broke into his housemate’s room and stabbed him on Saturday afternoon, after he had already been accused of assaulting another resident of the home on Friday.

What we know:

Ernesto Granados, 29, was charged with home invasion, armed violence, and aggravated battery, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. A judge ordered Granados to remain in jail ahead of a trial.

The suspect was already facing misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct charges stemming from an incident on Friday when he allegedly kicked in a bathroom door and assaulted a resident at the home in the 100 block of W.
