The Jersey City Police Department is actively seeking the public's assistance in locating a man believed to be armed with a machete following a series of suspicious incidents in the city. According to a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) alert issued by the department, five men were last observed in the vicinity of Harrison Avenue on the morning of September 16, 2026, at approximately 1:30 a.m. The group was reportedly operating a white pickup truck with an unknown license plate, make, and model. During the incident, one of the men allegedly approached a residence carrying a large knife, described as possibly a machete or a saw, while another male remained outside the gate. The individual with the weapon knocked on the front door; when no one answered, both men began walking around the front of the home, appearing to search for alternative points of entry. The situation escalated when the resident's dog began barking, causing the men to flee the scene. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any information regarding the whereabouts of these individuals. The Jersey City Police Department has established an anonymous tip line for the public to provide information. Residents can report suspicious activity or sightings by emailing tips@jcpd.nj.us or by calling 855-JCP-TIPS, which is also accessible at 855-527-8477. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement emphasizes the importance of community cooperation in identifying and locating the suspects involved in this potentially dangerous incident.
