Woodbridge, NJ: Father tells police he tossed baby from bridge into frigid New Jersey river

WOODBRIDGE, N.J.

Father tells police he tossed baby off bridge

A man who snatched his infant daughter from the arms of her maternal grandmother while the child's mother was in court getting a restraining order against him allegedly told police he threw the baby off a bridge and into a frigid New Jersey river, prompting a massive search Wednesday beneath a busy parkway for any signs of 3-month-old Zara Malani-lin Abdur. Acting New Jersey Attorney General Paula Dow called the incident "an example of a horrific case of domestic violence." Authorities suspended the search after dark and planned to resume at daybreak today. Authorities say Shamsiddi Abdur-Raheem, 21, forced his way into the grandmother's apartment, struck her and forcibly took the baby, then fled in his vehicle.
