“He said it wasn’t him,” Falbourn said.

The incident reportedly occurred at the corner of New Milford and Washington avenues just before 3:45.

The driver was described only as Hispanic and “small.”

Dumont police were given a license plate number of his 2006 Ford Econoline van, however.

The number was broadcast and published on CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Englewood police went to the man’s business, at their Dumont colleagues’ request, and he then phoned Dumont headquarters a little while ago, the chief said.
