A 50-year-old Teaneck man armed with a pellet gun sexually assaulted a woman early Sunday morning who worked at the facility where the man lived, the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said.

According to Prosecutor John Molinelli, Suh approached the 33-year-old victim carrying a firearm, tackled the woman and "touched her in an inappropriate manner" early Sunday morning.
The firearm, which was later determined to be a pellet gun, discharged several times during the struggle, Molinelli said.
The woman was able to break free with the help of another resident and flagged down a passing motorist who contacted the Teaneck Police Department.
Suh was later arrested and the weapon was recovered. Suh has been remanded to the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail with no 10 percent option.
