THE RECORD
MIDLAND PARK – A 48-year-old woman was fatally stabbed by her estranged boyfriend when she pulled into her driveway on Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli identified the woman as Suzanne Bardzell, who owns the home, a Cape Cod-style house in the 700 block of Godwin Avenue.
Molinelli said the attacker, identified as Arthur J. Lomando of Centerreach, N.Y., escaped to New York City, where he threw himself in front of a subway train at Amsterdam and St. Nicholas avenues. Lomando was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was treated for head and leg injuries, the prosecutor said.
Lomando is a former employee of the New York City Police Department who had been “separated” from the department for “quite a few” years for “physical and/or mental reasons,” Molinelli said.
Molinelli said Lomando left the machete-like knife that was used in the attack at the scene of the killing.
When police arrived at the scene, Bardzell was already dead inside the vehicle, and the engine was still running, Molinelli said
