A Bergen County man has been arrested following an investigation into an alleged assault at a residence in Palisades Park, according to information released by authorities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella announced the arrest of 49-year-old Shawn M. Lee of Closter on a charge of aggravated assault.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The case was investigated by the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office under the direction of Chief Jeff Angermeyer, along with the Palisades Park Police Department, led by Chief George Beck.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said that on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at approximately 9:38 p.m., officers responded to a private residence in Palisades Park to investigate a 9-1-1 hang-up call.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, officers learned that an assault had occurred earlier that day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A joint investigation was launched, and detectives determined that Lee was involved in a physical altercation with an adult victim.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the dispute, authorities allege Lee placed both of his hands around the victim\u2019s neck and jaw.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the investigation, Lee was taken into custody on Friday, April 17, 2026, by detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Closter.
