GUTTENBERG, New Jersey (WABC) -- A suspect has surrendered after a seven-hour standoff in New Jersey.

Malik Moore, 45, surrendered Sunday night after he got inside a stranger's house in Guttenberg.

Police say Moore crashed a stolen car around 9 a.m., hitting a pedestrian in the process.

Moore is then accused of assaulting another pedestrian and sneaking it into the home where he attacked a tenant. Police say he was brandishing a knife.

At one point, officers ushered neighbors out of harm's way, including two women holding small children.

Police say the car involved in the accident was stolen in West Orange.
