A short time before Shabbos, a man with a knife was taken into custody in downtown Lakewood.
Shortly before 7:00 PM, a man armed with a knife allegedly fled police following a fight in the area of the motel on 5th Street and Madison Avenue.
Police caught up with the man, tackling him and taking him into custody – but not before he reportedly tossed the knife.
Police combed the area for the weapon, though it’s unknown if it was recovered.
Any more info on this ?
My brother was driving and noticed a suspicious looking guy walking with a blanket over his shoulder and something sticking out which looked like a knife…he called police and they came right away and caught him he was trying to run away and he dropped his knife which was a machete…who knows what he was headed to do!
