A 42-year-old homeless man was taken into custody early Sunday morning in North Bergen after allegedly stabbing a 39-year-old homeless man in the leg and hitting him in the head with a bottle.
The altercation occurred about 3:30 a.m. The alleged assailant then hid beneath a bridge that carries John F. Kennedy Boulevard across the palisade cliffs. The two men apparently live under the bridge.
Police had to pull the alleged attacker up to the street using ropes and a gurney. The Port Authority Police Emergency Services Unit assisted in the arrest. Both men were taken to area hospitals.
