Woman 'Viciously' Beaten in Home Invasion, Police Say

An edited surveillance video has been released from Friday's home invasion in Millburn where a homeowner was assaulted in front of her 3-year-old daughter. 

According to Capt. Michael Palardy, the man kicked down the locked back door of the Cypress Street home just after 10 a.m. Friday and assaulted the female homeowner.

The man repeatedly assaulted the woman — punching, kicking and choking her — in front of her daughter as he searched through the home for valuables, police said.

"The man viciously beat the woman," Palardy said. He added the backdoor was dead-bolted and the door-frame was heavily destroyed.

The woman's 1-year-old daughter was also upstairs during the home invasion, Palardy added.

The man stole an unknown amount of jewelry, Detective Collin McMillan said on Saturday.

The woman was taken to the hospital Friday for injuries to her face and leg. She suffered a concussion and was released over the weekend.

Millburn police declined to release further information to not jeopardize the active investigation.

Authorities ask anyone with information or who can identify the man in the video to call the Millburn Police at 973-564-7001.
