Armed Fair Lawn Man Threatened To Kill Fellow Resident: Police

FAIR LAWN, NJ — A 73-year-old man is facing terroristic threats charges after he damaged a car, threw a brick through a storm door and threatened to kill another Fair Lawn resident over the weekend.

Police arrived at an Alwood Place residence at 8:36 a.m. Sunday after the resident reported damage to his vehicle, which appeared to have been scratched and dented with an "unknown sharp object." A back rear window had also been shattered, police said.

Officers responded to the same location an hour later after Michael Mann, 73, threw a brick through the front storm dorm of the home, and threatened to kill the resident while holding a knife, police said.

Five members of the police department responded to Mann's residence later that day.

They forced entry into his home and recovered both the knife he used to threaten someone earlier in the day, and a second knife, believed to have been the weapon used to damage the vehicle, police said.

Mann was transported to New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus following his arrest, according to the department.

He is charged with criminal mischief, terroristic threats, unlawful possession of a weapon and two counts of possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes.
