Newark Public Safety Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help in identifying the below-pictured male suspect in connection with an aggravated assault incident with a knife that occurred on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
 
At approximately 12:30 a.m., Police responded to Sagres Bar & Grill, at 44-50 Prospect Street, on a call of a male with a knife threatening workers. The male entered the restaurant and went behind the bar. When confronted by a worker, he pointed a knife he took from behind the bar at the worker. Before leaving the bar, the suspect attempted to stab one of the restaurant’s tables but cut his own hand, instead. He then fled, heading northbound on Prospect Street.
 
Detectives investigating this incident seek the public’s help in quickly identifying this suspect, who is described as a Black male with a Jamaican accent. He is approximately 6’2” tall and 160 pounds, wearing a dark blue long-sleeve shirt, short pants, and a hat.
 
Director Fragé urges anyone with information regarding the identity of this suspect to call the Police Division's 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).  All anonymous Crime Stopper tips are kept confidential and could result in a reward.
