Wanted New Jersey Man Also a Person of Interest in Lewdness, Attempted Luring of 10-Year-Old Girl: Police

A New Jersey man wanted on charges of terroristic threats and weapons offense is now being sought for questioning after someone exposed himself to a 10-year-old girl and attempted to lure her Friday morning, police say. 

Elizabeth police say they had already been looking for Jair Ramirez for allegedly threatening a 15-year-old girl at knifepoint on Sept. 15.

Now he's a person of interest in the incident involving the 10-year-old girl Friday morning, police said. 

In that case, a man exposed his genitals to the girl and tried to lure her into a secluded alleyway on Orchard Street. He ran away when a concerned neighbor intervened, according to police. 

The suspect's identity in the case has not been established, and Ramirez is only considered a person of interest right now, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Elizabeth police at 908-558-2111 or 908-558-2004. 

Ramirez should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.
