It all started around 5:30 a.m. when police tried to take the suspect into custody at the home on Lake Avenue.
Officials say the man they were trying to arrest went into the house to avoid being captured.
NewsCopter 7 was over the scene at one point when there were dozens of police officers lining the street.
Police put out a shelter-in-place notice for neighbors and schools delayed their openings.
While not confirmed by police, neighbors told Eyewitness News the arrest could have been related to a missing persons case out of Elizabeth, New Jersey.
The operation was led by the Union County Prosecutor's Office and backed up by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
Few other details were released.
