Mahwah NJ,  a 15-year-old boy from Mahwah has been charged in connection with the assault and car theft of a woman in Suffern, New York, after a shocking turn of events during what was supposed to be a routine lawn mowing job.

Lawn Mowing Turns Into Carjacking
Shortly after noon on Saturday, Suffern police received a call from a resident in the West Ward neighborhood, reporting that her neighbor had been assaulted and had her car stolen.

According to the victim, the teenage boy had previously been paid to mow her lawn. This time, he requested her car keys to move the vehicle from the driveway before starting the job. But once she handed him the keys, the teen allegedly pushed her to the ground, injuring her right arm, and then fled in her vehicle.

Police Chase Ends in Crash on Route 4
The woman was treated on the scene by EMS and later taken to Good Samaritan Hospital by her son for further evaluation.

Shortly after the incident, the Englewood Police Department in New Jersey located the stolen vehicle. When they attempted a stop, the teen fled, striking multiple vehicles before crashing on Route 4 near the George Washington Bridge, police said.

After the crash, the teen was taken into custody. Police said he admitted to stealing the vehicle but became aggressive and uncooperative during the arrest. He is currently being held in a juvenile detention center in New Jersey, awaiting arraignment on charges filed by Englewood Police.

Meanwhile, Suffern Police Detectives are working with the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office to bring the teen before the Youth Part of Rockland County Criminal Court to face New York State charges for assault and auto theft.

Ongoing Investigation
Authorities in both New Jersey and New York continue to coordinate their efforts in the case, and additional charges may be filed pending further investigation.
