Confronted by a resident after he started urinating on the man’s property, a bar patron slugged the victim, sending him to the hospital, police said.

The victim and his wife were sitting in their car outside their house on Friday, May 2, around 11 p.m. when they noticed a man exit Just Jake’s on Park Street and begin to relieve himself outside their home.

The victim requested the suspect leave and turned to walk away, and as he did so the suspect punched him in the face above the left eye, causing the victim to trip over a tree stump and fall.

The attacker ran away west on Montague Place. Later, the victim felt pain and was disoriented, and he went to Mountainside Hospital for an evaluation.

Police said the suspect was a heavy white man in a white New York Giants jersey with the number 71 on the back. He was in his mid-20s, 5-feet 5-inches tall and 220 pounds, with light brown hair and a goatee.

A man who was driving drunk got into an accident near Watchung Plaza and kept going, but he was pulled over after passing a police car heading in the opposite direction, police said.

Steven Paul Mango, 48, of Park Ridge, was arrested and hit with a list of charges including driving under the influence of alcohol, careless driving, failing to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident on Friday, May 2 around 7:30 p.m., police said.

Mango, at the wheel of a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis, crashed near the intersection of Park Street and Watchung Avenue and continued driving northbound on Park Street, authorities said. After he passed by a police cruiser responding to the report of a hit and run, the officer turned his car around and stopped Mango near the corner of Park Street and Inwood Avenue, police said.

Officers noticed the car had front-end damage. Mango, under questioning, admitted he had hit another vehicle, officials said. The suspect had the odor of alcohol on his breath and he told officers he had "two beers" before driving, authorities said.

When Mango failed field sobriety tests, he was arrested and charged and his car was towed away. Details about the accident were not available. Mango was released from custody at 10:15 that night.

When investigators checked on a car stuck along the railroad tracks crossing Champlain Terrace, they found that the driver, who was pressing on the accelerator futilely trying to free the car, had been drinking, police said.

Officers found the car facing west, trapped on the tracks near Champlain’s intersection with North Fullerton Avenue, at 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. The driver, Sally Cansdale, 50, of Montclair, was revving the engine in an attempt to dislodge the car, and the wheels on the passenger’s side had burrowed 8 inches down into the stones around the rail bed, police said.

Cansdale said she did not have any driving credentials and her driver’s license was suspended, authorities said.

Two officers, each holding one of her arms, had to help her get out of her car and escort her to the police car, police said.

Cansdale failed sobriety tests and a Breathalyzer test showed her blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit of .08, according to police.

She was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI), DWI in a school zone, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license and doing so in a school zone, and operating an unregistered, uninsured car.

A worker installing a dishwasher in a Forest Street condominium building at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29, improperly cut a pipe, causing water to gush out and penetrate into the lower floors of the building before authorities could arrive to shut off the flow, police said.

The unidentified laborer had to cut a water supply line feeding the kitchen sink to hook up the dishwater, but he cut it in the wrong location and couldn’t stop water from pouring out since he had inadvertently removed the pipe’s shutoff valve, police said.

After he called 9-1-1, Montclair firefighters shut down the water supply to the entire building. Before they could do so, however, enough water had spilled to damage the floors of the unit and trickle down into the condominiums below, on the second and first floors and the basement.
