The 22-year-old Newark man who went missing Wednesday morning was found in New York on Thursday night, authorities said.

Calvin Jones' mother told Newark police her son might have jumped in the Passaic River on Wednesday night after finding some his belongings near the water.

Police used boats to search the Passaic River late Wednesday and early Thursday before saying Jones might have traveled to New York. All along, authorities maintained that they weren't sure if Jones actually entered the river as there were no witnesses.

Jones had last been seen at 7 a.m. Wednesday in the area of 8th Avenue and Spring Street in Newark, police said.

Newark police didn't say where in New York Jones was located.
