Kelly Jones, 42, and the victim were in her car with their three children in the back seat on April 5 when he “became enraged and started assaulting her with a pair of scissors,” Maywood Police Chief David Pegg told CLIFFVIEW PILOT at the time.
The 36-year-old victim stopped the car so the children could get out, then ran from the vehicle.
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 as a crowd of onlookers watched.
The woman was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
Jones remained held on $300,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail.
The indictment returned yesterday in Hackensack charges him with first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault “manifesting extreme indifference to human life, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two illegal weapons possession offenses and three child endangerment counts.
