Authorities have identified 54-year-old Kenneth Bell of Long Branch as the man who jumped from the bridge’s upper level on Tuesday, said Joseph Pentangelo, according to The Record of Bergen County.
Witnesses said Bell drove his car onto the upper roadway from the New Jersey side, got out, climbed over the railing and jumped, according to the report.
In the Thursday incident, witnesses said they saw a woman in her 20s take off her shoes and jump from the north walkway, and into the river about 4:30 p.m, according to the report.

Police sources said they did not find a suicide note inside Lubanko’s apartment, which she shared with another woman in her 20s, and said it is unclear why she killed herself.
But the woman’s artwork was dark and appeared troubled.
Lubanko regularly posted disturbing videos and drawings on a personal site. She also posted her work on ScaryPretty.org, which describes itself as “glitteringly morbid,” according to a parent of one of her friends.
One of her pieces is titled “The Toilet Book,” a series of hand-drawn images and text that likens humanity to a bleak cesspool. “Hi, I am a human and I live in this toilet bowl of s–t-made things and evil people and all we do is swim in circles all day,” one of the pages reads.
A distraught man who identified himself as the woman’s father showed up with a suitcase to clear out his daughter’s belongings, but declined to answer questions.

A woman hung herself from a Brooklyn fire escape Sunday morning, and her body was left dangling for more than an hour, police and witnesses said.
The woman’s body was discovered around 8:20 a.m. hanging outside the third-floor window of her apartment on Utica Avenue and Prospect Place in Crown Heights, cop said.
“This is something you don’t want to wake up to on a Sunday morning. I thought it was fake, like a Halloween prank, and then I could see it was a [woman] hanging. I just screamed,” said passer-by Violet Acuna, 42.[. . .]
“She seemed like a nice girl. She was very social. Her parents were always around visiting,” said neighbor Stella Wiley, 66. “I saw her walking her dog at 7 a.m. She seemed OK.”
