Two people were seriously injured in a stabbing in Atlantic County, New Jersey, and now a Pleasantville man faces two counts of attempted murder.
Two people were seriously injured in an early-morning stabbing Sunday in Egg Harbor Township, police said.
Carlos Garcia-Moreno, 36, was also charged with two counts of aggravated assault, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and other offenses in connection with the attack, according to the Egg Harbor Township Police Department.
Police said officers were called to the 2700 block of Fire Road about 3:45 a.m., where they found two people suffering from stab wounds to their faces and bodies.
Both victims sustained severe injuries, but police said the wounds were not considered life-threatening. Authorities did not identify the victims or disclose their relationship to Garcia-Moreno.
Garcia-Moreno surrendered to police about six hours after the stabbing, authorities said. He was being held at the Atlantic County jail.
Police did not immediately disclose a possible motive or provide details about the circumstances leading to the attack. Authorities also did not say how the three child-endangerment charges were connected to the incident.
The stabbing remains under investigation by the Egg Harbor Township Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
