man from Seaside Heights charged with attempted murder will remain detained pending
trial.
Porfirio Serrano-Cruz, 38 will remain detained in
the Ocean County Jail pending trial on the charge of attempted murder in
connection with a stabbing that occurred back on June 30 in Seaside Park.
Police responded to a residence on O Street around

into his residence and tried to kill him. Officers found a 39-year-old male

victim was air-lifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for treatment
of his injuries. He is listed in critical but stable condition.

person responsible for the stabbing of the victim. He was located in
Seaside Heights and taken into custody, without incident, by police.
Serrano-Cruz has also been charged with unlawful
possession of a weapon, among other charges.
