Two men suspected of a string of robberies in New Jersey were being treated Tuesday at Bellevue Hospital Center for broken limbs after they injured themselves trying to escape from Fort Lee and New York police officers, police said.
Ramon Harper, 24, of Edison and Derrick Sheridan, 31, of Avenel were arrested Monday night in New York, police said.
Rochelle Park Detective Don Simon said the men grabbed a 33-year-old woman as she walked into the West Passaic Street Shop-Rite at about 9:50 p.m. One of them pulled her pocketbook from her shoulder, Simon said.
Fort Lee police spotted the men’s car approaching the George Washington Bridge and chased it into the city.
The suspects abandoned their vehicle and jumped off a roof 25 feet to the ground, where they were arrested, Royster said.
Police said Harper and Sheridan are suspects in recent strong-arm robberies in communities including Hackensack, Lodi, Wayne, West Orange, Denville, Parsippany, and Rahway.
