An armed Jersey City man was arrested with the help of police dogs after fleeing from police early yesterday morning, police reports said.

Darren Exum, 21, of Randolph Avenue, was charged with possession of firearm in a park, resisting arrest, obstructing a governmental function, certain persons not to have a weapon, unlawful possession of a handgun, and possession of a defaced weapon.

Police were called to Audubon Park on Stegman Street on the report that someone was showing off a gun to a group of friends at 11:58 p.m. Saturday evening, reports said.

As police approached the group sitting on a bench, Exum -- who appeared to have the handle of a gun under his T-shirt -- got up and ran, reports said.

Cops chased him east on Stegman Street into the backyard of a property near Wegman Parkway, where he vanished, reports said. K-9 units from the Port Authority and Jersey City Police Department responded, reports said.

JCPD dog Astro found the 21-year-old hiding in a backyard of a property, reports said. When the dog's handler released him, Astro bit the suspect until he stopped resisting arrest, reports said.

Police found a 9mm handgun loaded with seven rounds in the backyard next door, reports said, noting that the gun's serial number had been removed.

Exum was treated at Jersey City Medical Center for dog bites and was cleared for incarceration, reports said.
