Wyckoff Man Arrested Twice for Assaulting, Harassing Wife

A Wyckoff man was arrested twice after police say he assaulted his wife and later sent her harassing text messages.

The man was first arrested after Wyckoff police responded to a report of a domestic violence incident on Dec. 14 and “determined that [the] 53-year-old Wyckoff man had assaulted his 45-year-old wife and caused a minor injury to her arm,” Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin C. Fox said.

The man was arrested and charged with assault and released in his own recognizance.

But following his release, the man allegedly began sending harassing text messages to his wife and was arrested a second time on Dec. 16 and charged with harassment.
