Eyewitness NewsTENAFLY (WABC) -- Tenafly police are investigating a report of an attempted luring on Engle Street, north of East Clinton Avenue.

Police say two girls, ages 6 and 10, were playing in their driveway on Saturday morning when they observed a "large white pick-up truck" driving slowly northbound on Engle Street, park along the curb.

The vehicle was described as similar to a Chevrolet Silverado Crew or Extended Cab pickup.

Investigators said the suspect exited his vehicle, walked across the street onto the girls' property, and said, "Hey, come here." The children ran into their house and told their mother, who then called 911.

The girls described the suspect as a white male with brown hair, approximately 30 years old, 6'0" tall, wearing a long sleeve white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. He was also wearing dark blue jeans. He did not have any facial hair, nor any glasses.

The girls said that the man did not speak with an accent. They both stated, "he spoke normally."

Anyone with similar incidents or further information, should please contact Detective Sgt Kopesky at (201) 568-5100.

Suspects sought in violent store robbery

NEWARK (WABC) -- Mike Javier owns Monte's Supermarket on 15th Avenue in Newark, a fixture in his neighborhood for 40 years.

He has 16 security cameras and 3 very scared but lucky employees. At 10:30 Monday morning, two young men wearing hooded sweatshirts under jackets walked in.

They pretended to buy a drink and then a man in black pulls out a silver semi automatic handgun and demands money from the female cashier.

"She drops. As soon as she sees the gun she just drops to the ground," Javier explained.

Another employee puts his hands behind his back.

"He tells him to get down. He does, and then bam, he hits him," Javier said.

The gunman split his head open. Within minutes, it's all over. A puddle of blood on the floor and 3 workers who thought they were going to die.

Manny Santana was one of them.

"I mean you never think it's gonna happen," he said.

The pair of thugs got just 154 dollars, but what they took from Manny and the others cannot be measured.

"Get up every morning and go to work and they come in here to do that. It's not fair," he said.

"I just really want them to get caught cause the kid didn't have to get hit like that. And the girl, she went home and broke down. She has 3 kids," Javier said.

2 arrested, more sought in NJ street mob beating

Web produced by Bill King, Eyewitness NewsJERSEY CITY (WABC) -- Two people are under arrest and police are searching for more suspects after a man was beaten into a coma by a street mob in New Jersey.

The incident happened early Sunday in Bayonne, not far from the Quick-Chek on Broadway. Twenty-two-year-old Dawid Strucinski, who goes by the name David, just graduated from Rutgers and was looking for his first job. Now, he's fighting for his life.

A fundraiser is scheduled for Friday to help pay for Strucinski's medical bills.

Police in Bayonne say it was a vicious attack, and now two of the young women believed to be involved are in custody. One is charged with rioting.

Strucinski was walking home with friends when they spotted another friend surrounded by a mob of people.

"He was getting pushed around in the middle of the street," friend David Aziz said. "So me, Dan and Dave go run to diffuse the situation and get everyone back."

But there was no diffusing the confrontation, and the mob turned on the friends, separating them.

"I got hit in the back of the head, dropped and got stomped out by a couple of people," Dan Sautkin said. "I feel like the same thing happened to Dave, except when he got hit, he got instantly knocked out. So when they were kicking him, he was already unconscious."

Strucinski was kicked repeatedly and suffered severe head injuries. Police say there were more than a dozen attackers, at least nine men and four women.

"From what I understand, it wasn't a targeted attack," friend Steve Grau said. "It was just those people were out that night, and they were looking to do exactly what they did."

Strucinski was taken to Jersey City Medical Center, where he remains there in a coma. Officials say he is breathing on his own.

His friends hope the fundraiser, at the local Polish-American hall, will help pay his hospital expenses.
