They found the 30-year-old victim, who the captain said had "fallen on a small fence post that was on the ground outside the residence."

"The post went into her thigh," he said.

The officers rendered aid until an EMS team from Hackensack University Medical Center took over, Pozo said.

The victim was taken to HUMC in stable condition, he said.
