On April 7, 2024, Galloway Police Officers responded to 307 Cresson Avenue for a 911 verification. There were several prior calls to 911 that resulted in hang ups and police were checking on the occupants. Upon arrival by police, Kiminsky came out of the house and attacked one of the officers with a serrated knife by slashing him in the face.
