The New Jersey State Police is seeking the public’s assistance with identifying a second suspect wanted in connection to an aggravated assault investigation in Monmouth County.
On Saturday, December 21, 2019 at 2:53 a.m., two men confronted an Uber driver who pulled over to rest on Phillip Court in Upper Freehold Township. An altercation began and one of the suspects began to kick the driver’s vehicle. While the driver was attempting to drive away, one of the suspects threw a hammer at the vehicle and struck the victim in his face.
