Police in Norwood need the public's help identifying a woman found in the borough Tuesday.

The woman was found on Livingston Street, Chief Jeffrey Krapels said in a statement. The woman told police she believes she was in a motor vehicle crash about a year ago in Washington State.

The woman told police she has been walking from the West Coast ever since the crash. She told police she refers to herself as "A Vet" as she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and may have been a veteran serving in Bosnia.

Police said the woman believes that Russian organized crime has followed her.

She was taken to New Bridge Medical Center for observation, police said. She is believed to be between the ages of 40 to 45, about 150 pounds and 5-foot-8.

Anyone with information is asked to contact borough police at 201-750-8623.
