Narrative:
I was working local at ewr. Air carrier X (B737) on final runway 22L descending out of 2500 ft, 2 mi south of teb airport. Air carrier X was cleared to land when small aircraft Y (BE36) departed teb VFR. According to teb tower, small aircraft Y was told radar service terminated and remain clear of class B airspace. Well, small aircraft Y ended up 1/4 mi south, air carrier X (on approach to ewr runway 22L) at 2300 ft while air carrier X was descending out of 2500 ft. I issued climb instructions to air carrier X to 3000 ft and exchanged traffic. Air carrier X reported small aircraft Y in sight and continued its approach to land. Small aircraft Y was not in contact to ATC and proceeded 2 mi west of ewr at 1800 ft and then finally called N90 departure control 4 mi southwest of ewr. Small aircraft Y was not aware of where he was and continued to aiy.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: EWR TWR CTLR OBSERVED A BE36 OFF TEB PENETRATE THE CLASS B AIRSPACE NEAR HIS ARPT AND HAVE AN NMAC WITH AN ACR B737. EWR CTLR ISSUED TFC TO THE B737 WHO SAW THE BE36 AND CONTINUED HIS APCH USING VISUAL SEPARATION.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING LCL AT EWR. ACR X (B737) ON FINAL RWY 22L DSNDING OUT OF 2500 FT, 2 MI S OF TEB ARPT. ACR X WAS CLRED TO LAND WHEN SMA Y (BE36) DEPARTED TEB VFR. ACCORDING TO TEB TWR, SMA Y WAS TOLD RADAR SVC TERMINATED AND REMAIN CLR OF CLASS B AIRSPACE. WELL, SMA Y ENDED UP 1/4 MI S, ACR X (ON APCH TO EWR RWY 22L) AT 2300 FT WHILE ACR X WAS DSNDING OUT OF 2500 FT. I ISSUED CLB INSTRUCTIONS TO ACR X TO 3000 FT AND EXCHANGED TFC. ACR X RPTED SMA Y IN SIGHT AND CONTINUED ITS APCH TO LAND. SMA Y WAS NOT IN CONTACT TO ATC AND PROCEEDED 2 MI W OF EWR AT 1800 FT AND THEN FINALLY CALLED N90 DEP CTL 4 MI SW OF EWR. SMA Y WAS NOT AWARE OF WHERE HE WAS AND CONTINUED TO AIY.
