A 73-year-old Blackwood grandmother was arrested Monday after she allegedly jumped on the back of a Gloucester Township policeman trying to break up a fight between her teenaged grandson and adopted son.

Cathyrine Foster, of Fraser Road, was charged with obstruction of justice. The incident was reported shortly after 7:30 p.m.

He was caught and subdued by several officers after allegedly resisting arrest. He was charged with aggravated assault on a policeman and held at the Lakeland juvenile detention center in Gloucester Township.
