Police in Ocean Township (Monmouth County) have arrested one man but are looking for another from Neptune, who is tied to an Armed Robbery turned Attempted Murder.

The incident occurred outside of the Target at the Seaview Square Mall in Ocean Township on Tuesday evening around 8:30 pm when police were called in for an active fight that possibly included a knife, per the initial report.
