A sailor from the attack submarine Pittsburgh was arrested in Connecticut on New Year’s Eve and accused of strangling and assaulting two children, police said.

Electronics Technician 2nd Class (SS) Charles Youngberg, 24, was charged with third-degree assault, strangulation, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment and two counts of risk of injury to a minor, according to police in Groton, Conn.

The alleged assault occurred in Navy housing in the town of Groton after police received a call about a domestic problem, police said.

State social workers and the Navy Family Advocacy office will investigate the case, said Lt. Patrick Evans, a Navy spokesman for Submarine Group 2.

It is not known if the children are related to Youngberg.
