Seaside Heights Stabbing Remains Under Investigation

Police: No new information; victim was treated and released

 

Police continue to investigate the stabbing that occurred early Saturday during an altercation between two groups of people in Seaside Heights.

Seaside Heights Detective Steve Korman said there was no new information to release on Sunday about the incident, where a 26-year-old man was stabbed in the back of the head during the confrontation, which happened at the corner of Kearney Avenue and Ocean Terrace.

"It is still under investigation," Korman said. The victim, whose name was not released, is from Clark. He was airlifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where he received stitches for a knife wound to the back of the head and was released.

Police are searching for a white male with a thin build, 5-foot-9, and approximately 18 years old, Korman said. The suspect was last seen wearing a dark-colored shirt and blue jeans. The altercation occurred at approximately 3:31 a.m. on
Saturday, and the suspect was last seen running west on Kearney Avenue, Korman said.

"The victim and friends were walking east on Kearney, and when they got to Ocean Terrace and Kearney something happened. There were two groups," Korman said. "The outcome was the victim received a knife wound to the back of the head. The victim and a friend ran south on the boardwalk to Sheridan Avenue where they came in contact with Patrolman Scott Keefe. We're still putting the pieces together."

There was no indication that the incident was gang related, according to Korman. The site is the same corner as the rented house for MTV's "Jersey Shore" show.

Detective Luigi Violante is the investigating officer. Those with information related to the incident are asked to contact the Seaside Heights Police Department Detective Bureau at 732-793-1800.

Wow what a shocker ! A stabbing in seaside on a holiday weekend. I can't believe it. If it can happen here it can happen anywhere. I'm appalled, and in a nice family resort town too. What's this world coming to? Next thing you know there will be a murder in Newark. Naa that would never happen

oh please people...the majority of homeowers who reside in seaside don't regards their homes as shitholes.The majority of crime is brought into seaside during holidays and spring and summer break.So would that be out of towners.Most people who reside in northern new jersey and new york as well phila come here for there flings.Stuff happens even fights,murder,stabbings,robberies,assualts,rape u know crime.Most of toms river an lakewood flock to seaside what;s there excuse comin across the bridge.Most people rely on tourists for their living.Any resort town would.Be it Atlantic city,Wildwood,Pt.Pleasant and others.And crimes will follow.Some will be worst than other's.It's not the town it's those that come into the town.So the negative on the town should stop.Or don't visit stay home.In your hot houses with nowhere to go never seein a ocean.Play cards...hide out...but stop complaining about the town and recongize the issue....

I am sure there are hard working people that have lived there forever. But, I just absolutely avoid SSH in the tourist months. But I am seriously thinking about avoiding it all together when I hear of the trash they let move in there all year around. Hey, I'm just calling it as I see it...

You are right. Everyone knows welfare recipients and drug addicts take over in the winter. Crime happens all year long. You read about it every day in the papers. I blame that on the owners that allow them to live there. Seaside Heights was the place to go when I was a kid. Unfortunately, now it is the place to avoid at all cost.

Smart cars (photo) should carry more SSH cops who are wise to trouble-makers from out of town... and crack down on their dangerous shenanigans. Zero tolerance for these fools and their weapons is the only policy that'll save the town. Also, close the bars at midnight.

Daytime is SSH is a very peaceful and enjoyable family destination, especially Breakwater Beach, which is owned by Jenkinson's. I have been there several times as well as for the St. Patrick's Day and Columbus Day parades... never an issue.
Like ANY town, there will be unfortunate instances... especially when your summertime population is nearly 10x your year-round residency!
I will NOT, however, go there after dark! That is when the problems occur...

This is why we need to drug test all welfare recipients. The drug dealer gets his girl pregnant, and then moves in with her to live for free on our tax dollars. If they can drug test you for employment, why not welfare?

The way I see it,the clock is running out.Someone is gonna screw up big time.Either a State Troopers wife/daughter,or some Govenor is gonna get raped,killed,or what ever,in Seaside Heights.Then and only then will you see the hand of god come down on this town.The local PD,Mayor,everyone will be asking"what happenned""how can we make this rite" answer:you can't.If you think I'm lyeing,just go to a city where NJSP setup DWI/CVI checkpoints and a highly visable presents of Narco units.Does wonders for buisness.

Seaside Heights is great during the day and the waterpark is great fun for the kids. The off-season parades are great family fun as well.
However, leave town before dark because that is when the zombies and vampires take over.

I agree, I love Seaside during the day. The boardwalk is fun and so is the water park. However, like you said clear out by 9:00 or else. It becomes real bad and a lot of trouble.

Wow...you are a very anger man saint. Did you grow up at the shore? If you have, then perhaps you would understand our "older" folks point. If you didn't, you would never understand how great SSH was back in the day. Yes, I too believe they should drug test the people on welfare. The shame is that some really do need and depend on this source of help. Having said that, there are probably 40% or more that are just using the system as a free ride. Having one child after another from different men is just plain sad. I'm sorry, but I just don't get it! Unfortunately, SSH has become a haven for these people who are just lost!

When something happens to someone in SSH governing body, maybe they'll finally realize they need to start cleaning the place up. Until then, money is more important than safety. Greed will be Sleazeside's final downfall.

So true, the same thing is starting to happen in PPB. Th governing body is waiting for something to happen and then maybe they will do something to change the town back to what it once was. But like you said, Money and Greed takes over which will be the final downfall of both towns.

Good idea actually to have well hidden, well placed cameras to aid. Cost? Should not be an issue since Seaside themselves decided to allow that dumb show to totally ruin the town. And it did. That dumb show brought these clowns out of the woodwork. So, get smart......protect the people of the town and area properly. It has always been the folks who come to "visit" that cause the trouble. Camera's carefully placed and working are sooo smart. It'd be worth the cost.....police cannot be everywhere......
