Man said to have threatened woman with hatchet
Trick or treating turned into a fright night for some kids in the area of Partridge Road on Halloween.
Police said a man was riding around on a minibike vehicle wearing a wolf mask and holding an axe. A parent with the children reported the incident.
Later, at about 6:44 p.m. the children said they saw the man near a house they had intended to trick or treat. The children ran away.
The parent, who was walking with her dog, approached the man, and he raised the axe in a threatening manner, police said. He then ran into his house and the woman left the area.
Township police responded, but the prankster reportedly refused to answer the door.
The incident is still under investigation, police said. Anyone with information is asked to contact township police at 908-369-4323.
