The 33-year-old victim told police that Patrick Morrissey first spit on his vehicle in the Hudson Lights garage shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday, Capt. Ricky Mirkovic said.
The victim said he turned to speak with him when Morrissey pulled out a folding knife, threatened him, then lunged through the open window of his vehicle and stabbed him, the captain said.
The victim got out of his car and bashed Morrissey, Mirkovic said.
Responding officers found him “sitting on the ground against the wall bleeding profusely from the stab wounds on his left arm,” he said.
Both men were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, where Morrissey remained Monday night in the custody of the Bergen County Sheriff's Office.
He's charged with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and weapons offenses.
