Jay Freedman was taken into custody at the $1.3 million home in the south end of Upper Saddle River around 8 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 1, according to a police report.
Freedman is accused of hitting the victim with a baseball bat, it says.
The victim reportedly refused treatment.
Meanwhile, Freedman, who has a prosthetic leg and was reportedly using a wheelchair, was taken to Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus.
Freedman was later booked into the Bergen County Jail, where he remained Monday pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
He's charged with aggravated assault, making death threats and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Freedman was charged last year with deliberately setting a fire in an eighth-floor apartment in the Charlton, a 20-story high-rise off Bergen Boulevard in Fort Lee that overlooks the Hudson River. He was released pending court action, records show.
