Temperatures had barely topped freezing when a police officer working a traffic detail on Kinderkamack Road outside the Madison Arms apartment complex spotted the 31-year-old man as he emerged from behind the cemetery near the River Edge border and Route 4 shortly before 10:30 a.m., they said.

He was bleeding, apparently from digging with his hands in the cold ground, responders said.

The man was taken to New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus for treatment and a psychological evaluation, they said.

The Bergen County Sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification processed evidence.
