A man accused of a home invasion in the Wellington suburb of Miramar appeared in Wellington District Court on Thursday.

Police were called to a home in Darlington Road in the early hours of Monday last week after a resident discovered the man in their home.

One person was injured in a struggle that took place in the home.

The 29-year-old man is facing charges of committing a burglary with a weapon.

Lawyers for the man entered no plea and the man was remanded in custody until next month.

His identity has been suppressed.
