Hackensack police received a 1:30 a.m. 911 call on Friday from the 53-year-old woman, who said that she was on the riverbank near a storage facility and "will end it," Lt. Anthony DiPersia said.
City firefighters responded with a marine unit and summoned their Oradell colleagues' Water Rescue Unit to the boat launch at Court and South River streets.
"A short time later we learned the caller was in Lodi, where she resides," DiPersia said.
Lodi police were notified and found her, he said.
She was taken to Bergen New Bridge Medical Center for an evaluation.
