Westwood, New Jersey—A resident is accused of attempted murder after two victims were attacked inside 84 Westwood Blvd. on June 5, county prosecutors said.
The suspect, Troy C. Jones, 72, was arrested and is being held in Bergen County Jail.
One victim suffered multiple stab wounds and one victim was physically assaulted, county prosecutors said. Both women were transported to Hackensack University Medical Center with serious injuries, prosecutors said.
A next door neighbor reported seeing three individuals being taken from the scene by ambulances. Two individuals were said to have been on stretchers; the third reportedly walked into a waiting ambulance.
Investigators from multiple-jurisdictions cordoned of the crime scene and could be seen entering and exiting the residence.
Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo has accused Jones, who was employed as a bookkeeper, of two counts of attempted murder, aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. The charges will be heard in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
