Montclair Resident Catches Man Urinating On His Lawn: Police

MONTCLAIR, NJ — A “dispute” broke out between two people in Montclair on Monday after a Glenridge Avenue resident saw a man urinating on his lawn, authorities said.

According to the Montclair Police Department, a resident told officers that he saw a 2004 GMC Envoy parked along the side of his home, which he didn’t recognize. A man wearing a grey, puffy jacket and black shorts got out of the car, walked onto the resident’s property and began relieving himself on the lawn.

The resident said he tried to take a photo of the man and his car, but when the man noticed what was happening, he came over, slapped the phone out of his hand and tried to punch him – but missed.

The man then got back into his car and drove away, police said. No additional information was immediately available.
