Man promised ‘blood bath’ in antisemitic attacks targeting Lakewood Orthodox Jews, cops say

The man accused of a multi-hour antisemitic crime spree in Ocean County allegedly told family, “it’s going to be a blood bath” and called Jews “the real devils,” according to police documents obtained by NJ Advance Media.

Authorities charged 27-year-old Dion Marsh with multiple offenses, including attempted murder and bias intimidation for the Friday violence that included stabbing an Orthodox Jewish man in the chest, a carjacking and hitting pedestrians with a car Lakewood and Jackson, officials said.

Documents released Tuesday detailed how Ocean County investigators said they tracked Marsh, of Manchester, and how an alert good Samaritan’s tip to a Lakewood police officer helped detectives identify the accused assailant the same day of the attacks.

The first crime occurred shortly after 1 p.m. near Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Pine Street, where the attacker forced a motorist out of his vehicle and assaulted the driver before fleeing in the Toyota Camry, according to authorities. Lakewood detectives also gathered video surveillance showing the suspect trying to carjack two other vehicles, court documents show.
