A small crowd was watching the demolition of a house to make way for a new Leonia police headquarters on Friday when a man on a scooter suddenly mounted the sidewalk.

Musa Kaira, 28, of the Bronx was charged with receiving stolen property and issued several summonses after the 2:10 p.m. incident on Fort Lee Road.
