Ridgewood NJ, Uniformed patrol officers from Fair Lawn PD (2 units) and Paramus PD (3 units) were dispatched to aid Ridgewood PD in dispersing a large number of juveniles who had gathered to attend a party at a private home in the area of Newcomb Road, Ridgewood on Friday evening, 05/12. Ridgewood PD had received numerous 911 telephone calls from residents in the area reporting loud music, crowds of teenagers congregating, and unknown individuals running through back yards. Over 100 youths were dispersed from the area but not prior to an incident in which a 15 year old Wyckoff resident was allegedly struck in the head with a baseball bat by an adult male resident of Newcomb Road. An ambulance was called to evaluate the victim’s injuries, which were reported to have been non life threatening. No charges were immediately filed, however Ridgewood PD is investigating the alleged assault.
