A doll pinned to a tree with a knife going through its head was discovered near a Jewish school in Lakewood on Monday.

TLS first reported the discovery at around 9:00 AM, located in the wooded area off Swarthmore Avenue, near the Toras Menachem elementary boys school. The stuffed girl rag doll had a butcher knife stuck into its head. A second knife was stuck in the tree.

Lakewood Police spokesman Lt. Gregg Staffordsmith said household utensils and garbage were also found strewn about the area.

Lakewood police chief Greg Myer spoke to school administrators after it was removed. No children saw the doll, according to the chief.

The incident took place at the beginning of the first school day after the horrific massacre of 11 Jews at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, adding to fears over its nature.

“Although the act is certainly disturbing in nature, there isn’t any evidence on scene to suggest that this was intended to terrorize or send a message of hate to any particular person or group,” Staffordsmith said, adding that the case remained under investigation.

Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 732-363-0200.
