Authorities have arrested a Collingswood man in connection with a stabbing that took place Saturday night at a local brewery, leaving one person seriously injured. 
According to information released by Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay and Collingswood Police Chief Kevin Carey, 27-year-old Tahaa Elmogahzy has been charged with first-degree attempted murder for allegedly attacking a 30-year-old man from Mount Laurel.
In addition, he faces charges of third-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.
The incident occurred on the night of February 22, 2025, at approximately 9:09 p.m., when officers from the Collingswood Police Department were dispatched to the Raccoon Taproom, located at 1 Powell Lane, following a report of a disorderly person.
Upon arrival, police discovered that a patron had been stabbed in what authorities described as an unprovoked assault.
The suspect had fled the scene on foot before officers arrived.
The victim was rushed to Cooper University Hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.
An extensive investigation, conducted by detectives from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Collingswood Police Department, led to the identification of Elmogahzy as the suspect.
On Monday afternoon, members of the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force – Camden Division took Elmogahzy into custody in Collingswood.
He was subsequently transported to the Camden County Correctional Facility, where he is being held pending a detention hearing.
