PHOTO: A Frum driver had his car window punched out while driving late last night, TLS has learned. The driver tells TLS he was driving on Finchely Boulevard at about 11:30 PM last night, when a black male coming from a large party walked into the street and blocked his right of way.
As he slowed down and began making his way around the man, the man punched out his side rear window, the driver says.
The driver immediately left the area, and phoned police.
Police arrived about fifteen minutes later, the victim says, but being unable to confirm the identity of the man, no arrest was made.
LCSW tells TLS they received multiple calls about a group of black males – apparently ‘looking for trouble’ – roaming that area shortly before the incident.
Why did he not call lcsw first atleast they would keep eye on the guy until police eventually arrive
Thats basically Toms River isn’t it?
15 minuets?
That’s across the street from Presidential Estates.
Why did it take 15 minutes for police to arrive??
If it takes 15 for police to arrive than lakewood should do the same like camden!

No that is Lakewood just as much as Clifton Ave is. We pay Lakewood real estate taxe rates!
We need more police!!! (even if it will increase our taxes!)
I feel like we are living in the wild wild west!!!
Did the driver do anything to provoke him ?
IF THEY CALLED LCSW AS WELL THEY COULD AT LEAST RESPOND WITHIN A MINUTE OF
R TWO NOT 15 MINUTES, AND THEY COULD HAVE FOLLOWED THE MAN TILL HE GOT ARRESTED
if they would have called lcsw also they would have responded within minutes and at least would have followed the guy till police could arrest him
call lcsw also at least they would arrive on time and keep an eye on the guy for police to arrest
he punched out a car window with his bare hands? wow! did he break his hand?
Because they are busy and understaffed
There is no independent authority the police department has to answer up to, so this guy will never get a answer why it took 15 minutes
I don’t kow if the victim’s claim on the response time can be accepted at face value. When you’re sitting and waiting for emergency services to arrive it always feels like an eternity.
did it SEEM like 15 minutes or was it actually 15 minutes? I have called for help and what was 3 minutes seemed like 10 minutes.
Must have been a very big strong person to bust a window with his bare fist.
I’m sure there is more to this story than reported, including inaccuracies
the police are entitled to eat and sleep too. there are less patrols at night, which is probably why it takes longer for them to respond at night.
He drove home first, called police? Is that what took fifteen minutes?
whats all this police talk?! and if they would have showed up in 1 minute then what? they still wouldnt have got the guy he was long gone in 20 sec. and the guy couldnt id him anyway, so please use your brains before posting comments
Another fish story; No one can punch out a back window or front windshield with a bare hand! Something is not right witht the story from the information given…
TOScrap the lakewood police like camden!
There was one call made and it was from the victim..no other calls were made about a party or fm lcsw being in the area. Its not that it took 15 minutes to respond. Lakewood pd is not sitting around in their cars, they were actually all on other calls and broke from those to respond here..they are not always sitting across the street. So before you say you want to do what you do, Renegade. Think that you are not the only thing going on in this town of 100k people..and there are not 30 officers on the road all the time.
To 21 & 22:
Yes that is what happened
“LCSW tells TLS they received multiple calls about a group of black males – apparently ‘looking for trouble’ – roaming that area shortly before the incident.” REALLY!!, how do you apparently look for trouble. so walking is now called roaming??? wow!!
Yes they do sit around in their cars! I once called in a accident and it took a while for pd to show up, i notice down the block in a school parking lot a police car just sitting there so i was about to notify him about the accident… He suddenly put on his lights and drove down the block to the accident that i called in while he was parked down the block and he took his time to finnish eating etc.. Before responding
People should also know that, if your being blocked from driving and you cant escape like back lethal force would be justified and you can run the guy over
Mark, good luck with your murder charge
pretend your crossing the street, and a car ‘goes around you’. the car ‘goes around you’ close enough, that if your hand was fully extended, it could make contact with the car. thats what, about 2 in a half feet? or less??
if you were crossing the street, and a car ‘went around you’, only 2.5feet away – would you not become irate? would you not find it dangerous?
I AM A WOMAN DRIVER IF IT WERE ME I WOULD HAVE RUN THE GUY OVER PROTECTING MYSELF…OH WELL
To Mr. Conservative what’s your point here? Your justifying such behavior?
the police took 15 min because they were probably looking into somebodys unattended bags or multiple MVA`s or suspicious persons in the neighborhood.
#30 i am also a woman
you would have been locked out for hitting him
JUST THINKING MAY BE THINKING, BUT NOT READING. THE ARTICLE CLEARLY STATES ‘SIDE REAR WINDOW’!
all those ppl who would’ve hit the guy… yeah, good luck in court. no sign of any weapon, and you’re gonna run him over. ever heard of the reverse function on your car?
