The incident occurred at a residence in the Green Creek section of Middle Township, off Route 47, when a 72 year-old male subject was attempting to remove a lug nut from his vehicle, using a grinding tool, in front of his house.

The victim’s name is being withheld until family can be notified of the incident.
