A seventh-grade teacher in Bloomfield appeared in court Friday after he was arrested on sexual assault charges.

Connecticut State Police said Dale Kukucka, 35, a science teacher at the Carmen Arace Middle School, was brought into custody as a result of an investigation into an incident that took place on Oct. 20 in East Haddam.

According to court documents, Kukucka attacked a woman in the bathroom at the Grange Hall during the annual fife and drum muster.

"All of a sudden a male grabbed her neck with his right hand and put his left hand over her mouth. The female victim struggled and moved toward the window, which she broke with her left elbow, after which she lost consciousness," court documents stated.

Two people walked into the bathroom, stopped the assault and found the victim, who was bloodied and unconscious, according to court documents.
