PLAINFIELD, N.J. - Police say a thief got away after two good Samaritans grabbed the wrong person on a northern New Jersey street.
The Samaritans were driving down a street in Plainfield when they saw what appeared to be a man assaulting a woman early Monday.
But it turns out the man was walking down the street when he said the woman robbed him of about $400 in cash and a gold chain.
Public Safety Director Martin Hellwig tells the Courier News of Bridgewater ( http://mycj.co/PA5muX) the suspect ran off when the passing motorists intervened.
Investigators are using videotape to try to identify the suspect.
