The victims were rushed to University Hospital. The father is listed in critical condition with a serious head injury. The son is in serious but stable condition.
NJ State Police Chaplain Rabbi Abe Friedman along with the NJ Statewide Hatzolah Coordinators are at the hospital working with law enforcement personnel to determine whether this was a hate crime or not.
