Police arrested a man holding his girlfriend hostage after tracking his vehicle down in Bayonne during a tense pursuit that began in Secaucus Monday, authorities said.
Police responded to the 300 block of Clarendon Street on reports of a victim being held against her will in a basement apartment around 3:15 p.m., Secaucus Police Chief Dennis Miller said.
The suspect was believed to have been armed and possibly suffering a mental illness, Miller said.
Officers, along with the Hudson County Regional SWAT team, established a perimeter around the location and put a shelter in place order into effect.
