Woman Dragged Through Bleach, Punched in Her New Jersey Home; Suspect Sought: Police

Police in New Jersey are searching for a man who allegedly attacked a woman in her home, dragging her through bleach and punching her in the face. 

The 28-year-old suspect, Andrew Kazmierzak, went to the 26-year-old victim's home in East Rutherford and was allowed in to have a conversation, according to East Rutherford police. The two were former acquaintances, though the exact nature of their relationship wasn't clear. 

Inside the apartment, Kazmierzak and the woman began arguing, and the Kazmierzak urinated on the floor, according to police. 

The woman went to get bleach to clean up the floor, and that's when Kazmierzak took the bleach and poured it on the victim, then dragged her through the bleach, police said. He then punched her in the face. 

Kazmierzak ran away before police arrived.

The victim was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center to be treated for injuries from the bleach on her hip and buttocks, police said. She remains in stable condition at the hospital. 

Anyone with information on the suspect, who possibly lives in Paterson or in the Bronx, is asked to contact the East Rutherford Police Department at 201-438-0165.
