No foul play was involved and no suspects were being sought, Police Capt. Daniel Hippe told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Borough detectives were joined by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Major Crimes Unit, the county sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification, and the BCPD after the man was found unconscious outside the building at 38 Central Boulevard, between Second and Third streets, around 5:30 a.m.

He was taken to Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck.

“When the victim regains consciousness he will be interviewed by detectives,” Hippe said.
