The teen was in critical condition after being taken via private vehicle to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center shortly after 1:30 a.m., Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora said in a brief release.

Police were called to the hospital after a crowd gathered there, responders said.

“At this time, no crime scene has been located,” the release issued at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday says.

Valdes and Baycora asked that anyone with information that could help the investigation contact the prosecutor’s tips line at 1-877-370-PCPO or tips@passaiccountynj.org or the Paterson Police Ceasefire Unit at (973) 321-1342
