Parking Authority Worker Hit With Rock In Montclair: Police

MONTCLAIR, NJ — Someone hit a parking authority employee in the head with a rock in Montclair earlier this week, shortly after she’d written a ticket, authorities announced Tuesday.

According to the Montclair Police Department, the incident took place on Bloomfield Avenue on April 12. Police released the following statement about the assault:

“A female employee of the Montclair Parking Authority reported that she was working in the three hundred block of Bloomfield Avenue and had just completed issuing a summons. While walking away, she was struck in the head with a rock thrown by an unknown person.”

The parking enforcement officer was alert and conscious, but complained of head and shoulder pain. She was treated at the scene by a Montclair EMS crew, police said.

Another recent rock-throwing incident took place nearby in Nutley just a few days earlier, when a juvenile allegedly threw a stone at a woman who was pushing her 2-year-old granddaughter on a swing. See Related: Juvenile Hits Woman With Rock In Local Park, Nutley Police Say
