A street takeover in Secaucus turned riotous and violent toward police overnight.<\/p>\n
Secaucus Police Chief Dennis Miller said the conditions his staff responded to were like \u201ca war zone.\u201d It happened near the Motor Vehicle Commission, and not far from a neighborhood and a large business park.<\/p>\n
More than 12 hours later, the road was streaked with tire tracks from burnouts and donuts from what police say was more than 100 vehicles.<\/p>\n
Police say participants were hanging out of windows and eventually jumped on top of police cars. No officers were injured. Several departments were called for mutual aid.<\/p>\n
Chief Miller says police are directing extra resources to investigate. There were no arrests on scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir decision-making of not to exit their vehicles to engage a crowd that outnumbered them probably in the vicinity of 50-to-1 is good decision-making on their part,\u201d said Chief Miller. \u201cThis lawlessness will not be tolerated in Secaucus.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chief added that these kinds of incidents are not unfamiliar in the area, but the size and violence of this one was unusual.<\/p>\n
