Police Investigate Gunpoint Robbery

A Maryland woman was robbed by a man she knew at gunpoint Saturday while she was in Wyckoff trying to meet a man she talked to on the Internet, police said.

Authorities said Sgt. Michael DeMaio and Patrolman Kyle Ferreira spoke to a 19-year-old woman who said she was robbed at gunpoint by a man she said she knew.

Police said the woman talked to a Wyckoff man on the Internet and came to the borough to stay with him; she couldn’t contact the man so she reached out to a man she knew, police said.

She met the man in Newark and, while he was driving her to Wyckoff, they started arguing, police reported.

When they arrived in Wyckoff, the man pulled a handgun on the woman and told her to give him her phone and get out of the car; once out of the car, the man struck her with the car, knocking her to the ground, police said.

Both her legs were injured and she was treated by the Wyckoff Volunteer Ambulance Corps, authorities reported.
