According to Glen Rock Police Chief Dean Ackermann, the incident occurred on Wednesday, May 28, when a 59-year-old Fair Lawn man called 911 after being aggressively tailed by a black 2-door Infiniti while driving into Glen Rock.

The victim said the vehicle blew through a stop sign and pulled over on Cornwall Road, where two men exited and approached him. One of the men reportedly knocked the victim’s phone from his hand. The second suspect, wearing a tan hoodie, allegedly brandished a fanny pack, stated “I have a gun in here”, and smashed the car’s passenger side mirror with it before fleeing.
