Jaber Baker, 24, of Clifton, allegedly grabbed at the victim's body and face, and made attempts to kiss her inside the Circle K store where they worked on Route 23 South, according to Wayne police Capt. Laurence W. Martin.

The "employee rebuffed Mr. Baker's aggressive advances, resulting in Mr. Baker placing a switchblade knife with the blade extended to her neck and threatening her," Martin said in a statement.

The incident, which occurred about 5:30 a.m. on March 23, was captured on the store's video surveillance cameras, Martin said.

The victim told responding police officers the harassment had been ongoing, Martin said.

Baker is charged with criminal sexual contact, terroristic threats and two weapons possession counts, according to police.

Martin said Baker was released pending a hearing in Passaic County Superior Court.
