NEWARK, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A man died while police chased him on foot through Newark on Thursday, the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office announced Friday night.
Officers were pursuing a man they suspected of an unspecified crime along the embankment of Route 280 when he collapsed, officials said.
The man was brought to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 4:41 p.m, according to prosecutors.
The Attorney General’s Office is obligated to investigate the death under a 2019 law that requires the Attorney General to look into all incidents in which a civilian dies while interacting with law enforcement.
