3 Teens Stabbed In Possible Incident Near School In Bergen County: Police

HACKENSACK, NJ — Three teenage boys from Bergen County were stabbed Monday in an incident that "may have occurred near (Hackensack) High School," police Capt. Michael Antista said.

The teenagers, one 16-year-old from Garfield and two 18-year-olds from Hackensack, were stabbed with an unknown weapon and sustained non-life threatening injuries, Antista said.

A fight was previously reported on First Street near Hackensack High School, yet responding officers and supervisors investigated and did not find any signs of a fight or victims, police said.

A short time later, Hackensack University Medical Center contacted police headquarters and reported that the three teenagers were being treated as a result of a stabbing, police said.

Antista confirmed that the victims are not students of Hackensack High School, and that the incident did not occur in the high school.

"This is an ongoing investigation and more information will be released as it becomes available," he added.
