A convicted felon from New Bedford was arrested Sunday in connection with an assault involving a gun, according to police.

Dominic Rezendes, 35, is facing several charges including carrying a loaded gun, breaking and entering, and kidnapping.

Police said that when officers tried to arrest Rezendes outside his Austin Street apartment, he ran into a nearby house and toward the back door. Officers caught up to him on the porch and he was taken into custody.

Investigators later learned he had discarded a loaded gun and did not have a license to carry, according to police.
