US Edition73 Arrested, 3 Stabbed and Popular Jersey Shore Boardwalk Shut Memorial Day Weekend
- Over the course of a 72-hour period ending early May 26, authorities in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, detained 73 individuals amid numerous altercations and three separate stabbing incidents, resulting in the temporary closure of the boardwalk just after midnight.
- The arrests and closure followed escalating violence despite an assertive plan involving about 100 officers and outside support to prevent chaos, given similar incidents last year during the busy holiday.
- Police responded to numerous calls including stabbings and a fight where a 21-year-old man was arrested for firearm possession; none of the stabbing victims cooperated with investigators.
- Detective Steve Korman stated that during the 72-hour period from the morning of May 23 until the morning of May 26, 52 adults and 21 juveniles were taken into custody amid an estimated 100,000 visitors. Police Chief Thomas Boyd described the boardwalk closure as a preventative step to maintain public safety.
- Assemblyman Paul Kanitra praised law enforcement, advocated for stricter disorderly conduct penalties, and officials pledged to improve strategic planning for future holiday weekends amid ongoing crowd control challenges.
