A Garfield High School resource officer got a tip “there was going to be some type of fight or rumble” at Belmont Park at 4 p.m., a law enforcement source told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

City police and members of Bergen County Bureau of Police Services units responded.

“There were some kids from Fair Lawn in the area, pretending they didn’t know what was up,” one officer said. “They were dispersed.”
