Upon locating the subject, the officers coordinated their actions,” the department wrote on social media.

“They carefully crossed over the railing, encouraged dialogue, and used physical restraint to prevent the party from jumping into the water. With the help of Hoboken FD, they assisted the subject back over the railing to safety and medical attention.⁣”

The four officers who responded to the incident are Sgt. Dennis Dulmer, along with Police Officers Christopher Graybill, Tara Soscia, and Fernando Candia.⁣

  1. Hey everyone.

    Now that your Christmas is over and Phil’s little lamp is out of oil and such, I just wanted to let you know that I’m totally fine. Also, we have great social workers whom I was merely testing with my whole “suicide” test. That’s right, I did this for YOU, Hoboken.

    Am I disappointed the Rafi didn’t win and my only backup – to keep collecting taxpayer dollars as a “mayor” or whatever you call it – is effectively gone too, I just wanted to let everyone know what great social workers we have.

    Even though I don’t have a snowballs chance in hell in Congress and Fullop only likes me because I gave his wife a weed dispensary in town, please consider voting for me or giving me money so I can finish renovating our brownstone. The big meanies in Trenton censured me but I can still do good lawyerin’, and I love all 673 genders. Plus, I am brown.

    OK. Thanks. I have to go now. Stop Vijay I’m signing out and using voice to text because you know END
