Sketch Released of Manalapan Chaser

Last month, we reported on a case in Manalapan where a man chased a 9-year-old child and has dog down the street. The APP now reports the Manalapan police have released a sketch of the suspect.

From the report:

Around 8:20 p.m. on Sept. 15, the boy was walking his dog on Arbor Court, near Dogwood Court, when the man got out of a black, four-door sedan and began to walk toward the child, police said.

The frightened boy ran away and the man chased him, but then stopped after about 50 yards, returned to his vehicle, and left, police said.

The man was described as unshaven and white. He was in his 40s or 50s, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, weighed about 210 pounds, and had a medium build, brown eyes, a tan complexion, gray or white hair, and a white beard. He wore blue jeans, sneakers, a New York Giants hat and a blue, short-sleeved shirt with a picture of a white face printed on the front. The boy told police the man spoke with an accent.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Leonard Maltese at 732-446-4300 or 732-446-8388.
