21-Year-Old Man Assaulted on Harrison Avenue
Thursday's assault happens near an unrelated armed robbery reported on Sunday.
For the second time in nearly a week, a man was assaulted while walking along Harrison Avenue near Chestnut Street early Thursday morning, West Orange police said.

The victim described the suspects as between the ages of 18 and 21 with one suspect approximately 5-foot, 8-inches tall and the other suspect around 6-feet tall.
A spokesman for the West Orange Police Department’s Detective Bureau had no further information about the assault.

You would think in a town where the taxes are what they are, we wouldn't have these incidents as regularly as we do. I have friends with the police dept and there's a whole lot more that happens, we just don't hear about. How bout the police actually doing their job instead of issuing a parking summons for overnight parking etc. to the tax payers?!?!?

The town needs a serious overhaul or I suspect as soon as most can afford to, they will leave. Especially in riskier areas. That being said, look at Montclair. Ugh.
