BEACHWOOD, NJ – A man was reportedly making threats to harm himself in the woods out at Johnson’s Pit in Beachwood Monday afternoon, and police responded.
According to the Beachwood Police Department, at approximately noon, the department received a call of a male subject making threats to harm himself.
“Prior to our arrival, the male subject left his residence, and intelligence led us to believe that he was possibly in the wooded area behind Beachwood Plaza known as “Johnson’s Pit.” police said. “Out of an abundance of caution, extra patrols were stationed at the Beachwood Elementary School due to the fact that summer dismissal was commencing and the male’s approximate location in the woods behind the school.”
Police said there was no immediate threat to the public or the school. The male was located shortly after without incident.
