PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Police in New Jersey arrested a man accused in a violent home invasion.

Twenty-six-year-old Justin Surofsky is accused of breaking into a woman's home and sexually assaulting her.

It happened Thursday in Piscataway in Middlesex County.

Sources say the victim was elderly and uses a wheelchair.

She was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

"What I can say is I can't fathom why an individual would do something like they did to that individual. It's just downright sick," Piscataway Mayor Brian C. Wahler said.

Police say neighbors' surveillance video helped them identify the suspect.

He faces a long list of charges, including sexual assault, attempted murder and kidnapping.
