Pennsylvania Man Sought In NJ Water Park Stabbing: Police

BERLIN, NJ — Police are searching for a Pennsylvania man they say stabbed another man outside a popular South Jersey water park during what was described as a “domestic incident” last month.

Rashawn Parker, 30, of Chester, Pa., saw his child at Sahara Sam’s Water Park on Route 73 in Berlin on Aug. 18. Even though he doesn’t have custody of the child, Parker attempted to leave the park with the child, according to Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill Mayer and Berlin Township Police Chief Wayne Bonfiglio.

When the adults the child went to the park with tried to stop him, he punched the woman and stabbed the man, police said. He then ran toward a car and drove away, police said. Read more here: Police Investigate Stabbing At South Jersey Water Park
