The worker at Hackensack Nissan on River Street asked Kelvin Mack, 47, to park properly after he took up two spaces with his 2018 Mercedes Benz shortly before 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Police Capt. Darrin DeWitt said.

Mack, who had a handicap placard in his car, “became irate and retrieved a knife,” DeWitt said.

“Mack, with the knife in his hand, threatened to cut the employee and lunged at him,” the captain said.

He got back into his car and drove away before Officers Benhamin Farhi and Sgt. Richard Melber stopped Mack, found the knife and took him into custody, DeWitt said.

Police charged Mack with weapons possession, simple assault (by menacing) and making terroristic threats, then sent him to the Bergen County Jail.

Mack, who had a previous assault charge on his record, remained held Monday pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
