A 42-year-old armed deranged man slashed a Port Authority police officer's head and face with a knife, along with injuring two other PAPD cops as they struggled to subdue him.
In Sunday's early morning hours, P.O. Joe Romano was dispatched to a disabled vehicle on the upper level of the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge. It was reported that the vehicle was being operated erratically on three wheels before stopping on the bridge.
As P.O. Romano pulled up to the scene, the vehicle's operator exited the disabled vehicle, and began pounding on Romano's radio car. Shortly after, Police Officer Miguel Correa arrived to assist Romano. When Correa left his patrol vehicle, the operator of the disabled vehicle gained access to Correa's vehicle through the front passenger side door. Correa responded by diving through the driver’s side window, that he left open, and confronted the man who was now brandishing a knife. During the struggle, the armed man slashed Correa's head and face multiple times. Romano and Police Officer Vincent Laconti rushed to aid Correa, subdued the man, and took him into custody.
It is being reported that the man stole a vehicle in New York City, driving it to South Hackensack, New Jersey, where he crashed it into a Wendy's restaurant on Route 46. There, he carjacked a Toyota Sienna, fleeing to the George Washington Bridge where his crime spree came to an end by Port Authority Police.
Port Authority PBA President Frank Conti commented on the incident, saying, "This morning, Port Authority police officers apprehended a dangerous armed carjacker who recently carjacked a vehicle and was attempting to flee in another stolen vehicle. One of our officers was attacked by the knife-wielding suspect, who was ultimately taken into custody. Three of our officers sustained injuries, thankfully non-life threatening. I applaud them for a job well done, and I'm extremely happy that no one was more seriously injured. This is yet another example of the dangers our police officers face."
The suspect is charged with Attempted Murder among other charges.

Ten-year-old Jose Flores, Jr., told his dad he wanted to be a police officer. Jose's father told him he needed to get good grades, do well in school, and be on the Honor Roll. Jose had a dream.
On May 24, 2022, Jose was killed along with 18 other students and two teachers in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Recently, Jose's father, Jose, Sr., and his brothers, Jayden and Jayce were welcomed by the PAPD at Newark Liberty International Airport as they arrived for a New York City visit arranged by Blue Lives Matter NYC, the NYPD Hispanic Society and other organizations.
