A brief pursuit of a vehicle that was reported stolen had cops take a man into custody late last night.
According to a spokesperson for the NJ State Police, shortly before 9 p.m., officers from the NJ State Police began following a dark colored Audi A4 that was occupied by three suspects.
After running the vehicle's registration, officers noticed that the vehicle was reported stolen authorities said.
When officers activated their lights and sirens in an attempt to stop the vehicle, authorities said the vehicle sped away from the scene.
Police followed the vehicle for about a minute to the area of 13th Street and 18th Avenue when all of the occupants bailed from the vehicle the state police spokesman said.
A foot pursuit had officers catch one of the suspects inside West Side Park.
Authorities said **20-year-old Raekwon Hawkins** of Newark was charged with receiving stolen property and resisting arrest.
He was booked and issued a summons and a court date authorities said.
Reports on social media that the suspect suffered injury from gunfire at the hands of officers were unsubstantiated and unfounded.
Police are looking for the other two suspect who were occupying the vehicle with Hawkins.
