CVP EXCLUSIVE: Police from Maywood and Rochelle Park this afternoon converged on a Hackensack man who they said stabbed a woman with a pair of scissors.
The 41-year-old defendant and the victim were in her car with three children in the back seat just before 1:30 p.m. when he “became enraged and started assaulting her with a pair of scissors,” Maywood Police Chief David Pegg told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

The woman stopped the car so the children could get out, then ran from the vehicle, he said.
Maywood police received several 911 calls and rushed to West Pleasant Avenue, where Pegg said Officers Darryl Wuhrl, Matthew Parodi and Erik Aronson saw the accused assailant following the victim.
Joined by officers from Rochelle Park, they took him into custody.
The woman was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
Charges include attempted murder, weapons possession and three counts of child endangerment.
