Authorities Capture Man Believed To Be Serial Stalker

PALISADES PARK, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say they've arrested a man they believe is responsible for several recent stalking incidents in a New Jersey community.

Palisades Park police say 26-year-old Sungjae Song, a South Korea resident living in the town, was arrested Saturday. He's facing several counts, including aggravated criminal sexual contact, burglary and harassment.

Song was being held at the county jail and it wasn't known Monday if he has retained an attorney.

Authorities say the female victims were stalked at random.
