Ramsey Rafael Urena, 22, was arrested moments after police responded to a 911 hangup from his 4th Ward home around 2:20 a.m. yesterday, Detective Capt. Timothy Torell told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Several family members were present when the officers arrived, Torell said.

“Our primary mission on this type of call is to make the scene safe for everyone – the police, the combatants and, of course, any innocent children who are often injured during these kinds of domestic disturbance,” he said.

The 22-year-old victim sustained back and extremities injuries, the captain said.

Because of the circumstances, police notified the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency, he added.

Urena, meanwhile, was being held on $20,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail, charged with aggravated assault, pending grand jury action.
