The 30-year-old woman told police she was walking through the PNC Bank lot on Outwater Lane between 10:30-10:45 p.m. Monday when the man came running up behind wearing a “red, shiny plastic” mask and holding a small black handgun.

She said she turned and ran away and no contact was made, Detective Capt. Darren Sucorowski told CLIFFVIEW PILOT this morning.

The woman described him as about 5-foot-10, with a medium build and wearing dark clothing, including a sweater.

She said he came running from an area where, moments earlier, she saw a light-blue, four-door vehicle park.

It had two “colorful cartoon stickers” on the passenger side rear bumper.

Sucorowski asked that anyone with information that can help his detectives’ investigation call the department: (973) 478-8500.
