Officers responded to the area and located the victim, a West Orange resident, while officers and detectives began searching the vicinity for the suspect. Officers and detectives located a male and female party in a 2001 silver Honda Civic in a parking area on Stag Hill Road near River Road. Initially, police said, the two they acted as if they were embracing and not involved in the incident. Information was conveyed from the officers with the victim that the male party who stabbed him had been in the Township police charge two following assault with knife company of the woman in the Honda. An on scene identification was made by the victim identifying the man in the car as the individual who had assaulted him. The victim stated that he and the woman had been in the victim’s car in front of her residence at Ramapo Brae Lane when she abruptly stated they had to get out of the area. An unknown male then approached the car, and the victim pulled out of the complex. As the victim was heading down Stag Hill, his vehicle was cut off by the Honda driven by the male suspect, and both drivers then stopped and parked. The woman left the victim’s vehicle to talk with the man in the Honda. The male suspect then entered from the passenger door of the victim’s car and slashed at the victim with a straight razor, cutting him severely on his right hand. The victim pulled away and called the police from the truck stop at the bottom of Stag Hill Road. The Mahwah woman denied involvement of a weapon by the male suspect. A short while later, police discovered that the razor was secreted in the cell phone in the woman’s possession and had been given to her by the male suspect when the police were pulling up to them on first contact. Police also learned that the suspects, who had previously lived in Mahwah, have a child in common. Both suspects were arrested and transported to headquarters.
