A 35-year-old man from Toms River was hospitalized early Thursday morning following a series of incidents involving what police described as “erratic behavior” that prompted officers to hold him at gunpoint in Wall Township.

According to Wall Township Police Department, the man had experienced a medical episode that led to unusual and concerning conduct in multiple locations overnight.

Police said the incidents began around 10 p.m. Wednesday, when a resident in Wall Township reported that an unknown man had knocked on their door. The encounter was captured on a doorbell camera. Later, at approximately 12:55 a.m. Thursday, officers were called to a Wawa on Route 34 after reports of a man acting erratically inside and outside the store.

Authorities said the man was wearing a traffic safety vest and camouflage pants. His description matched that of an individual sought earlier by Neptune Township Police Department in connection with a reported possible kidnapping at knifepoint.

Wall Patrolman Clint Forgach located the man behind the Wawa building. Police said the man refused to comply with verbal commands, prompting officers to draw their weapons “for the safety of the officers and the public.”

Two additional officers arrived at the scene, and police were able to subdue and arrest the man without further incident.

Neptune police later responded, and an investigation determined that no kidnapping had occurred. Authorities concluded that the man’s actions were the result of a medical episode.

During the investigation, officers also learned that the man was wanted on a warrant issued by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office. Police did not disclose the nature of the warrant.

Because of concerns related to his medical condition, the man was transported to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. His name was not released, and no additional charges were immediately announced.
