Police are continuing to investigate an assault that occurred Sunday afternoon at the intersection of First Street and Clifton Avenue, an incident previously captured on video and posted by TLS.

According to authorities, officers were dispatched to the area at approximately 1:20 p.m., following a report of an active fight. Upon arrival, an officer met with the victim, who was seated in the driver’s seat of his vehicle.

The victim reported that he had stopped at the intersection to allow pedestrians to cross when his vehicle was struck from behind by another car. After exiting his vehicle to speak with the other driver, a verbal exchange allegedly escalated into a physical assault.

Police say the suspect allegedly grabbed the victim, threw him to the ground, and dragged him along the roadway, resulting in injuries to the victim’s ribs, neck, knees, and face.

Following the altercation, the suspect reportedly returned to his vehicle and fled the scene northbound on Clifton Avenue before officers arrived. Emergency Medical Services responded and evaluated the victim at the scene.

The incident remains under active investigation. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is urged to contact Detective John Ganley at (732) 363-0200, ext. 8362.
