Tchoukadarian explained that his mother-in-law was watching his newborn daughter, who was sleeping in a bassinet near the front window, when the attacker smashed it with a pickaxe, sending shattered glass everywhere.

“If my mother-in-law didn’t act as fast as she did, my daughter wouldn’t be here,” he said.

That wasn’t the end of the assault, however. The 65-year-old woman, identified as Beverly Baker, returned several times over the course of a few minutes and wreaked havoc on the home located in the 1700 block of Asbury Drive.

“She broke one window, went back,” Tchoukadarian said. “My mother-in-law came out screaming and yelling to get my attention.”

Security footage shows Baker, a pickaxe swung over her shoulder, marching back up the driveway. After shattering more windows, the 65-year-old shouted an ominous warning.
