! Ex-Con In Englewood Stabbing Nabbed, Handgun Recovered By Teaneck Police

The officer was one of several who apparently were trying disperse a march early Saturday evening, repeatedly telling participants and onlookers to back up, after what appeared to be a separate incident that occurred along the route several minutes into the event.
