That evening, the couple observed an elderly man in their backyard, Montgomery police said in a release. When the couple confronted the man, he started harassing them and yelled a racial slur, police said.
The man left the property but was observed later walking through the neighborhood. The man was last seen wearing jeans, a pink polo shirt, glasses, and a camo style ball cap and he spoke with an accent, police said.
If anyone can identify the man, contact the Montgomery Township Police Department at 908-359-3222.
