 It started  with a carjacking on erev shabbos at Pine and MLK at 1:15 pm after an attempted  car Jacking  20 minutes  earlier  on Arlington  Ave when the suspect beat a younger man and stole his car. 5 hours later he drove back into Lakewood with the stolen car a camry and went  on a crime spree stabbing and running  people over in the area of Central  Ave and Pine circle and Carlton. He also tried to abduct a bachur. He then went into Jackson and attempted to run people over on Galassi court who were on the way back from davening sending a victim to the hospital  with broken bones. Police reportedly  tracked him down in Manchester  after his car tires were flat and he asked someone to help him report's said that he put on Jacket that was was found in the car. Askanim set up a command center Friday night to monitor  the situation as it was unfolding. Messages were sent out for people to only walk in groups and not be alone until it was safe to do  so. Several rabbonim spoke about it on shabbos to give chiizuk as one of the victims run over is a rebbe in the kehila and a yeshiva bachur was run over and then stabbed.

 He hit a yid walking in the area of white and galassi around 725 and continued down white further into Jackson and getting the car disabled with a flat tire at around 730 in front of a Jewish home. He got out of the car and tried changing the tire himself (guess chaverim were closed for shabbos). While he was trying the homeowner saw him and thought he was Jewish because he was dressed in black and white so they offered to help him or maybe even give him their car to get home for shabbos but he refused he said get out of here then after a few minutes they were looking out the window and noticed him running towards the front door so they lock the door and he started banging on the door and screaming help me help me. At that point they realized that being that he refused help initially it must be he's not a Jew so they ignored him and he ran away after a few minutes A police car randomly passed and noticed the disabled car on the side of the road with the door open and the lights on so they got out of the car to look what was going on at that point the homeowner came out and told the police officer what had transpired at that point the police put the two and two together and they called in for backup.

 NJ.com- Ocean County man faces attempted murder and other charges after detectives say he carjacked a vehicle, struck two pedestrians with it and stabbed a man in the chest, authorities said Saturday.

Dion Marsh, 27, of Manchester Township, is charged with three counts of attempted murder, weapons possession and three counts of bias intimidation for a series of violent crimes that occurred Friday afternoon in Lakewood, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.

Billhimer said the suspect approached a 2016 Toyota Camry about 1:15 p.m. in the area of Martin Luther King Drive and Pine Street, assaulted the driver and fled in his vehicle.

About 6 p.m., a pedestrian was struck in the area of Central Avenue and Carlton Avenue and less than an hour later a man was stabbed near Pine Circle Drive and Lakewood New Egypt Road, Billhimer said.

The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, while the stabbing victim was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, the prosecutor said.

About 8:20 p.m., the same carjacked Camry struck a pedestrian in the area of Galassi Court in Jackson Township, Billhimer said. The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical but stable condition, Billhimer said.

Marsh was later arrested at his home in Manchester Township and held in the Ocean County Jail pending a detention hearing, according to Billhimer.

“Our investigation reveals that these criminal acts were committed throughout the day yesterday into the early evening and that Marsh was acting alone and not in concert with anyone else,” Billhimer said in a statement.

Billhimer said the case was investigated by prosecutor’s office, local police and state police, along with agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, and the New Jersey Department of Homeland Security and Preparedness.

Gov. Phil Murphy issued a statement in response to the crime spree on Saturday.

“I applaud the efforts of law enforcement in Lakewood and Ocean County for swiftly apprehending the individual believed to have committed a series of serious criminal acts last night, including multiple violent offenses. Tammy and I pray for the full recovery of all victims. The safety of our communities, and notably our communities of faith, is not only a paramount concern but among my highest priorities. We will continue to partner with all who share this commitment so no resident ever needs to live in fear,” the governor said.
