A teenage girl was pulled from the waters of the Passaic River after a multi-jurisdictional response led to her rescue.
At about 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 2, Livingston Police received a call from a medical office on Regent Street reporting a 16-year-old female patient had fled the facility on foot.
