– August 31st, 2014:
A Kearny man broke into a Bogle Drive home Friday and struck one of its 74-year-old occupants in a robbery attempt, police said.
Police charged Evanalain Sieberkrob-Hershman, 24, with robbery, burglary, three counts of aggravated assault, hindering apprehension, criminal restraint and possession of a hypodermic needle.
A 74-year-old woman told Lyndhurst Police that a man entered her home through an unlocked rear door, Capt. John J. Valente said in a press release. The man grabbed her and demanded money.
The woman's husband, also 74, tried to intervene but the man struck him in the head, Valente said. A 50-year-old relative living upstairs came down after hearing screams for help.
The man pushed her aside as he fled toward Riverside County Park, Valente said.
Police searched the park, where a witness reported seeing someone matching a description provided by police, Valente said. The witness said he saw the man walking north through the park toward Riverside Avenue.
Police arrested Sieberkrob-Hershman in a parking lot on Riverside Avenue. He was trying to remove clothing, apparently to avoid being recognized by police, Valente said.
He was sent to Bergen County Jail in lieu of $420,000 bail.
The 74-year-old man was released from Meadowlands Hospital after treatment for face and head injuries, Valente said.
