'There's Blood Everywhere': 911 Audio Of Ortley Beach Stabbing Captures Panicked Cries For Help
The 911 call audio also includes the woman begging for police to be sent moments before the stabbing. The man accused remains in jail.

TOMS RIVER, NJ ? Moments before a man was stabbed at an Ortley Beach home on June 6, a woman at the house called 911 to seek help.
In less than a minute, she went from asking for police to begging for an ambulance.
"There's blood everywhere," she tells the 911 operator, while yelling "stop it, stop it" to the men, whom she describes as an "ex-Marine and a cop."

Patrick A. Robertelli, 57, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, harassment, and stalking in the incident, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said.
Authorities said Robertelli went to the home, on Harding Avenue in Ortley Beach, about 10:45 p.m. and as soon as he arrived, began fighting with the 52-year-old man at the home.
The stabbing victim was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. He was identified as Michael Abrams of Toms River, in a now-deleted Facebook post by the Toms River Police Department. Screenshots of the posted press release were shared by several social media sites.
The woman who made the call was at the home as well. Authorities say Robertelli sent her several threatening text messages.
Robertelli remained in the Ocean County Jail as of Wednesday awaiting a detention hearing.
In the audio of the 2-minute, 34-second 911 call, obtained through an Open Public Records Act request, the woman's rising panic can be heard as she begs first for police and then for the ambulance.
"911 where is your emergency," the operator says.
"Wait, I'm, I don't know where exactly where I'm at, but I need cops here right now," she says.
"You don't know where you are?" he responds, then says, "Harding Avenue?" and the woman says "Oh my God, no," then repeats "Ortley Beach," three times before confirming Harding Avenue.
"Right now hurry up please," she says. "The guy's gonna f-- me up."
The call gets transferred over to the Toms River Police Department, and one of the dispatchers can be heard berating the woman as she begs for help while she's also talking to the men who are fighting.
In the background of the call, a man can be heard saying, "I told you that. Get up. It's not about you."
One of the men tells her to call 911, and she says "they're on the phone."
Seconds later she begs for an ambulance, and the dispatcher says, "Why do you need an ambulance?" As she continues to beg for help he says, "Ma?am would you stop for a second? Why do you need an ambulance?"
"There?s blood everywhere," she says, then screams "stop it, stop it" to the men in the background.
"Ma?am, will you stop yelling. What is going on? You?re not helping anything," the dispatcher says.
Finally, the other dispatcher says, "I'm starting medics," and the recording ends.
