This is the man who invaded a woman’s home and assaulted her before her 3-year-old daughter (PHOTO)

Shawn Custis was arrested and charged with attempted murder, robbery,
burglary and child endangerment in connection with a violent home
invasion on Friday, June 21, that left a mother beaten in an attack
that was captured by a nanny camera.
The robber broke into the woman's home, tackled her, knocked her
senseless in front of her toddler and stole her wedding ring.
And a "nanny" camera filmed every stomach-turning moment of the attack.
Armed with the crucial video evidence, authorities say they identified
the brute as ex-con Shawn Custis, 42, and nabbed him in Manhattan
Friday, hours after an old mug shot was released to the media.
The attacker threw the woman to the floor while her little girl looked
on from the sofa.
Custis, whose criminal record dates to the early 1990s and includes a
dozen convictions, was tracked to a building on Tenth Ave. in
Washington Heights, where the FBI's Violent Fugitive Task Force and
cops from Millburn, N.J., pinched him inside an apartment building
lobby about 5:30 p.m., sources said.
A week earlier, the victim, a Millburn resident, was at home watching
cartoons with her 3-year-old daughter while her 18-month-old slept
upstairs. Luckily, a nanny camera was filming from atop its perch on a
fireplace mantle in the room where the mother was watching TV.
The home invader then dragged the woman and threw her down the stairs.
Suddenly, the hulking suspect smashed down the back door and wrestled
the woman to the ground. Custis, who had just been released from
prison in December after doing a 10-monthstretch for a string of New
Jersey burglaries, was filmed kicking and punching her, authorities
said.
In one horrifying image from the video, the suspect is seen ontop of
the woman and reaches his hand back over his head to wind up a
haymaker punch.
"Where your pocketbook at?" the suspect demanded as the woman moaned
in pain, according to Millburn Police Capt. Michael Palardy.
The unidentified mother was beaten in an attack that was captured by a
nanny camera.
Custis threw the woman down the basement steps before running off with
her wedding ring and other valuables, authorities said. The woman
suffered a concussion, a leg injury, bruises on her face, chipped
teeth and cuts around her mouth.
The brave mother told reporters she was afraid to cry out, fearing her
daughter would get upset and anger her attacker. "I knew that if I
started screaming, my daughter would, too,and I was afraid she would
get hurt," she told News 12. "I took it. I didn't cry the entire
time."
Shawn Custis, 42, is facing charges of attempted murder, robbery,
burglary and child endangerment in connection with a violent home
invasion on June 21.
The children were not hurt.
The Essex County Prosecutor's office issued a warrant for Custis'
arrest Friday afternoon. Anthony Ambrose, Chief of Detectives in the
prosecutor's office, told The Star-Ledger that his staff received
numerous calls about Custis' whereabouts after his mug shot was
released to the press on Friday.
Custis is facing charges of attempted murder, robbery, burglary and
child endangerment. He is being held in lieu of $750,000 bail.
