An individual was arrested with multiple guns on him a short while ago in Lakewood.
It happened at around 4:00PAM on Park Avenue – next door to the Bais Faiga Girls School.
With the community on edge following the recent string of anti-semitic attacks, there is fear and concern spreading regarding this incident.
The following is what the lakewood Police tells YWN at 6:00PM:
Aat approximately 4:00PM, the Lakewood Police Department received a call regarding a male subject approaching bystanders at the Self Service Car Wash. The car wash is located on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Park Avenue.
It’s alleged that the male suspect approached bystanders and displayed what were described as three handguns, which were tucked in his waist-band, and that the suspect offered to sell the firearms to the bystanders, which prompted the call to the authorities. Sgt Messer, Officers Burkhardt #361 and Zavalnyuk #359 were first to arrive on scene and approach the suspect, based on his description.
The suspect became non-compliant and evasive, which prompted Officers to use immediate, necessary force to subdue the suspect.
The three aforementioned firearms were recovered from the suspect and he was arrested and transported to Monmouth Medical University for injuries sustained during the incident.
Officers Burkhardt and Zavalnyuk were uninjured following the arrest.
As a result of arrest Arturo Cuahutle-Flores, 47 years old from Ocean Avenue in Lakewood was charged with 4 counts of unlawful possession of weapon and 4 counts of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. There are more charges pending. As of this time, the investigation is still ongoing.

Scary!
good work police!!!!!
“offered to sell guns”.
dudes this guy may not have been trying to hurt jews, rather, he wanted to cash in on the communities alarm and sell them illegal firearms. He should be taken in, but he’s not necessarily anti semitic at all. Of course this is all preliminary.
I don’t know what to say, the police look very out of order in protocol, very unprofessional, it definitely wasn’t a good job, but at least they did the job!
He was selling illegal guns, this probably happens all the time there along with selling drugs etc. This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with a threat of a mass shooting. Misleading article.
didnt see the complete video before. but man, this does look horribly violent. then again, he IS carrying guns huh? i guess you can just never tell accurately from a video….
As in, i guess the dropkick was necessary?? i dont know… perhaps they needed the quickest way to get him down…?
Oh woops, There i go typing my thoughts again.
This article is extraordinarily inappropriate and reckless.
This incident didn’t occur ‘next door’ to any Jewish institutions, let alone Beis Faiga. Additionally, nothing about the incident suggests there was any intent by the arrested individual to harm Jews.
During a time when there have been actual vicious attacks against Jews, and people are reasonably unsettled and concerned, to try and create an impression that there was almost an anti-Semitic attack on a Jewish girls school, when nothing of the sort occurred, is shockingly low and frankly, downright rishus.
“I don’t know what to say, the police look very out of order in protocol, very unprofessional, it definitely wasn’t a good job, but at least they did the job!”
Are you a trained police officer? Do you know anything about what happened prior to the video? No? Then why say anything? If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything!
So it was near a Jewish school. And what?
