The victim was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for treatment of injuries to his hands and arms following the 10:25 a.m. assault at the motel next to the Parkway Lanes bowling alley, Police Chief Michael Foligno said.

Officials enacted a shelter-in-place at Gantner Avenue Elementary School for about an hour as a precaution while police searched the area for the assailant, Police Chief Michael Foligno said.

The shelter-in-place as later lifted and there was a large police presence in the area for the remainder of the day, the chief said.

"At no time were students or staff in any danger," he emphasized.
