The victim -- who'd been beaten in neighboring Westwood -- ended up on the hood of the car Tuesday night before landing outside a house on Catherine Court, local sources said.

An alert was issued soon after for a silver BMW SUV or truck.
The following day, Bergen County prosecutor's detectives arrested Bryan Ortigoza, 19, of Passaic on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault.

A juvenile was taken into custody on Friday and served with a delinquency complaint.
A third suspect was being sought.
