Investigators said the 46-year-old victim was walking down the sidewalk at Taylor Park just after 7:30 p.m. when Kazir Stokes, 20, and his 17-year-old companion pushed her to the ground, the report says.
They stole her purse and cell phone before fleeing the scene, but were discovered hiding behind a nearby car soon after, NJ.com says. Stokes was booked at Essex County jail, while the teen was charged with juvenile delinquency and taken to a youth facility, they added.
The victim suffered "significant" injuries to her face, police told the outlet. Stokes was charged with robbery and conspiracy, the outlet writes.
