This morning at approximately 08:14 a.m., an individual called the Bayonne Police
Department to report observing a noose hanging from a tree, according to Police Capt. Joseph Scerbo.
An individual was walking in Dennis P. Collins Park on West 1st Street, in the area of the
skate park, when the noose was observed hanging from a tree near the water, authorities said.

a noose hanging from a tree. The rope was taken down and is now in the possession of the
Bayonne Police Department.
