Homicide arrest: Middletown man run over multiple times, cops say

OLD BRIDGE — Police have made an arrest in connection with the death of a Middletown man who was allegedly run over multiple times by the same driver in a parking lot on Tuesday.

A male, who authorities have identified as Tyler, got into his vehicle and ran over 36-year-old Jason Freeman multiple times before fleeing the scene, officials said.

The Middletown resident was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to Google Maps, 100 Perrine Road is part of Old Bridge Professional Plaza, which includes a number of office buildings.
