Federal immigration agents arrested at least two people after what appeared to be a traffic accident involving one of their cars in Red Bank Friday morning. 
 
Multiple videos posted to social media show immigration agents arresting at least two men as numerous law enforcement officers converged in unmarked cars on Catherine Street just east of Shrewsbury Avenue near Juanito’s grocery.
 
The contents of the videos was confirmed by redbankgreen interviews with eyewitnesses. 
 
The videos also show a green pickup truck facing westbound on Catherine Street nose-to-nose with an eastbound facing grey sedan and what appears to be steam or smoke rising from one of the cars.
 
An ambulance arrives on the scene, but it is unclear from the videos if anyone received treatment. 
Multiple cars and trucks, including at least two with covered license plates were parked on the scene as a mix of masked and unmasked agents detain two people and appear to be investigating vehicles on the scene.  

Red Bank Police officers arrive on the scene as the area is taped off with crime scene tape. 

An email to US Customs and Immigration Enforcement’s media office seeking information was not immediately returned.

Messages left with the Red Bank Police Department were also not immediately returned.
