Asbury Park Man Shot Inside Lakewood Orthodox Jewish Enclave
A 27-year-old man from Asbury Park reported to Ocean Medical Center just before 10 p.m. after sustaining gunshot wounds inside a predominantly Orthodox Jewish enclave in Lakewood Township.
The victim was on his way to Toms River and unfamiliar with the area, had pulled into the Westgate complex after losing his way. That wrong turn nearly cost him his life.
The man stated that an unknown assailant approached his vehicle in the complex and fired at least one shot, resulting in injuries to both his arms. Following the incident, the victim and the suspect left the scene separately. The victim managed to drive himself to the hospital for treatment.
Police did not release a description of the gunman at this time.
