Disorderly Conduct

In New Jersey, a person commits a petty disorderly persons offense if, with purpose to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk of it, they fight, threaten, or behave violently or tumultuously, or create a hazardous condition with no legitimate purpose.

• §N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2

So does a person who, in a public place and with purpose to offend or reckless disregard of doing so, addresses unreasonably loud and offensively coarse or abusive language to someone present.

• §N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2

Concealing one's identity with a mask or disguise during disorderly conduct, to instill fear or avoid apprehension, and purposely disrupting a public gathering, are disorderly persons offenses. A mask worn solely for medical, religious or expressive purposes does not count.
