On April 15, 2024, at approximately 8:25 p.m., Police Officers Daniel Barron and Alexander Miller were on Third Street near Madison Street when they saw two men in a verbal altercation. As they exited their patrol car, they heard one of the men reference a knife and a stabbing. The officers separated the men. Police Officers Kyle Seper, Shyenna Vega, and Damien Bates arrived on the scene. One of the individuals was identified by the officers as 56-year-old Richard Maldonado of Hoboken. An on-scene investigation revealed that Maldonado went into the other man’s business on the 200 block of Madison Street and attempted to sell him a poker table. When the victim said he didn’t want to buy the table, Maldonado became irate and agitated and threw the table in front of the business. During an argument, Maldonado pointed a pocketknife at the victim. He was placed under arrest. A search incident to arrest located drug paraphernalia. Maldonado continued to yell at the victim in a threatening manner. He was transported to Hoboken Police Headquarters and charged with aggravated assault, possession of weapons for unlawful purposes, unlawful possession of weapons, making terroristic threats, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was ultimately transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
