The horrific attack took place in Millburn, New Jersey, and was caught on a nanny cam in the woman's living room.

In the disturbing video, the woman is seen watching cartoons with her young daughter. She then gets up after hearing a noise coming from the other room. However, suddenly an intruder barges into the living room and throws her to the ground and starts punching her repeatedly in the face.

The young girl remains frozen on the sofa as the horrific attack unfolds, only moving initially to cover her face with a pillow.

The mother can be seen trying to get up, but the man continues to kick, choke and punch her.

The attacker then drags the woman across the floor and opens a side door, throwing the mother down the stairs to a basement area. He then walks around the house calmly looking to jewelry, ignoring the terrified young girl.

The woman was also thrown down the basement stairs, which knocked her unconscious. She was only able to call police for help after she woke up. The unnamed woman suffered a concussion, bruises, and chipped teeth. She also required stitches for the cuts around her mouth.

Police is protecting the identity of the woman and child and have not released their names.

Custis has been transferred to an undisclosed location in New Jersey after his arrest, according to county chief of detectives Anthony Ambrose. He will face charges of attempted murder, robbery, burglary, and child endangerment.

The video has shocked the nation, prompting public groups and private individuals to offer a $20,000 reward for the information leading to the attacker's arrest.

The footage was aired on national television in an appeal to find the man.

Here is a video news report into the brutal attack:
