According to a preliminary investigation, Elizabeth city spokesperson Kelly Martins said the incident happened at approximately 9:05 p.m. at 440 Broadway.
According to Martins, police are still trying to piece together the circumstances behind the incident. They believe that the situation started with an 8-year-old child struck by a passing car.
According to Spokeswoman Martins, this resulted in an assault where a 38-year-old Howell male resident stabbed three people.
Martins said the child who was struck by the vehicle is in stable condition. All of the stabbing victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police took the suspect into custody and charged him with multiple counts of aggravated assault and weapons charges.
