The Record
RIDGEWOOD — A police investigation into an alleged slashing incident reported by a student has revealed no such attack occurred, according to Mayor Paul Arohsohn.
That conclusion was reinforced Thursday evening in a media statement issued by Police Chief John M. Ward that said no current danger exists as a result of the report.
A Ridgewood High School student had reported the alleged assault to school staff Wednesday afternoon. School staff relayed the account — that a man followed the juvenile for several blocks before approaching him with a knife and attempting to steal his backpack — to police, who opened an investigation.
That story, Aronsohn said Thursday, was just that.
“At this point, there is no evidence to confirm that the alleged crime was actually committed,” Aronsohn said. “The investigation is still ongoing.”
isn’t that called making a false police report??
Aronsohn is the new police chief?
Jack of all trades, master of ZERO!
Next thing you know, we’ll be seeing him on the back of a sanitation truck.
Yea right! He would never get his hands dirty on the back of a sanitation truck. He’s probably never did a hard day of physical work in his life. I would expect to see him with a fireman helmet on at a fire scene. You can find him right next to the camera. I’m surprised that his buddies at the FD haven’t given the helmet and made him Honoree Chief.
