Teen stabbed on NJ shore boardwalk, sparking panic on Memorial Day weekend


A 15-year-old boy was stabbed on New Jersey’s Ocean City boardwalk Saturday night, spending panicked crowds of beachgoers fleeing the area during the Memorial Day weekend.

The idyllic summer vacation spot was turned into a scene right out of a horror movie when an unknown male suspect stabbed the teenager after 9 p.m. on the boardwalk between Ninth and 10th streets, police said.

Video of the aftermath shows throngs of people running away from the site of the stabbing while first responders rush to the scene, NBC 10 reports.

New Jersey E-ZPass stickers could arrive soon

Out with the old, in with the new. E-ZPass is getting an upgrade.

New Jersey Turnpike may be saying bye-bye to the E-Z Pass device as they assess some new technology for the electronic toll paying service.

According to News12, the agency is testing a new sticker with a digital chip on their own vehicles that would replace the white plastic transponder mounted to windshields.

“We are planning to put the stickers in Turnpike Authority fleet vehicles for an informal test run. That will happen pretty soon,” said Tom Feeney, an authority spokesperson. “If there aren’t any issues, we plan to make them available to NJ E-ZPass customers.”

Officials say the stickers could be rolled out to drivers by the end of the year if the test run is successful.

This new method would potentially save the authority millions of dollars since the sticker tags don’t require batteries.

So far Massachusetts is the most recent state to change. On March 1 drivers received a small E-ZPass sticker to put on their windshield.

The new sticker transponder has an RFID chip embedded in them that’s read by the overhead toll gantries.

The current transponders, which MassDOT gives out to new customers for free, costs the state $6.70 each while the new stickers cost 55 cents, Massachusetts Department of Transportation Administrator Jonathan Gulliver told WBUR.
