The suspect, Jason Hinton 27, of Liberty Street in Little Ferry, was later located at Good Sam, where he'd sought medical attention for "numerous self-inflicted stab wounds," Lyman said.

Hinton was transferred to Trauma Center at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, the chief said.

Both he and the victim were in stable condition, Lyman said.

Charges were pending against Hinton, he said.
