2026 – Teen Stabbing near Hackensack PD brings out the TV News Choppers – 3-24-26
You may have seen this on TV. A 16-year-old boy was stabbed seven times on Central Ave by Union St at around 3pm. By the time police found him, he had made it to Banta Place. (Note: I didn’t have any idea what this was about until I saw the Channel 7 news at 5:20pm)
I started to hear the first helicopter (from Channel 7) at around 3:30pm, but it appeared to be high in the sky east of the river and stationary over Teaneck or possibly Bogota:
At about 4pm, the Channel 4 chopper showed up…..
…..followed by the combined Channels 2 and 5 helicopter at around 5pm:
I never saw all 3 choppers at the same time – usually, it was two, with Channel 7 being a constant:
- Far away from Channel 4:
- Far away from Channel 5:
- Closer to and higher than Channel 4:
- Turning away to go home (and close to Channel 4):
I followed its progress as it made an arc and went straight to Manhattan. That’s probably why I saw the first report on 7 and not 4. But a couple of seconds before I took this picture, they appeared to be – at least two-dimensionally – side-by-side (too bad I didn’t yet have them in focus).Here’s the latest report I could find:
