1 Stabbed in New Jersey Municipal Building; Suspect Arrested
A person was stabbed inside a municipal building in New Jersey Thursday in what appears to be a random attack, police say.
Lakewood Police say that the victim is not believed to have sustained life threatening injuries but was transported to a local hospital for treatment and further evaluation.
Police say that around 10:55 a.m. they were alerted via panic alarms of an issue in the municipal complex and were informed that an unidentified man was apparently acting disorderly.
Once police arrived at the location, the alleged stabbing suspect, who was sitting in a hallway chair, allegedly struck at least one officer in the eye when police attempted to gain information from him.
Police allegedly recovered a folding knife that dislodged from the man's waistband, which they believe was used in the earlier stabbing.
The suspect was arrested and the investigation is ongoing, police say.
