JERSEY CITY — The smashing of the front window of a Jones Street office of the Hudson Pride Connections Center on March 20 is being investigated as a possible “bias incident,” local officials said.
While no one was hurt, the incident has increased the tension many people feel in the community. Hudson Pride provides a number of key services to the LGBTQ community, including physical and psychological assistance.
The center operates on the second floor of a building just south of the Journal Square campus for Hudson Community College, and the transportation PATH and bus hub.
Police responded to the site at about 10:40 a.m. on the report of a broken window and were met by the deputy director.
The alarm company altered the center-of-motion activity on the front porch prior to the arrival of staff, who discovered the window bashed in.
Nothing was stolen.
