Hackensack police are searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a violent assault that occurred on the evening of July 19, 2026, at Foschini Park in Hackensack, New Jersey. The incident took place during a baseball game when a man began waving a pocketknife at spectators. Witnesses report that the suspect then put the knife away and punched a 32-year-old man from Garfield in the face. The force of the blow caused the victim to fall backward, strike his head on the ground, and briefly lose consciousness. Emergency responders, including Hackensack Fire Department personnel and medical staff from RWJBarnabas Health, arrived at the scene to treat the victim, who was stabilized and transported to a local hospital for further care.

They determined that the incident was a targeted assault rather than a mass brawl. The suspect fled the scene on foot before officers could apprehend him. Police were unable to locate him during initial searches of the surrounding area. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his 30s. He was last seen wearing a New York Yankees baseball hat, a gray tank top, black shorts, and black sneakers. The Hackensack Police Department has an active and ongoing investigation into the incident. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the suspect's whereabouts to come forward. The victim is recovering from his injuries, but the suspect remains at large.
