SAYREVILLE, N.J. -- A man fatally stabbed a teenage burglary suspect who was trying to flee from his second-floor apartment on Saturday, Sayreville police said.
Roda LaMarche grabbed a knife after calling police to report a burglary on Saturday, police said.
One suspect got away, but LaMarche grabbed 17-year-old Carlos Pagan's leg and stabbed him several times, said Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan.
Pagan got out of a window and ran off before collapsing with a punctured artery about a quarter mile away, police said.
Authorities were seeking the second suspect. The stabbing was under review.
