UPDATE: Three Injured in Two Separate Stabbing Incidents in Brick

Update 2:30 p.m.:
Two individuals were stabbed in a dispute in a Bernard Cooke Park, with a suspect still on the loose, Brick Police said.
It was one of two stabbing incidents in Brick Township Thursday night, where an unrelated stabbing was a domestic dispute in a Hooper Avenue home. In that case a woman was injured and a 36 year-old Brick man was arrested.

In the Cooke Park incident, police were called to Ocean Medical Center after two men sought treatment for multiple stab wounds, said Brick Sgt. Henry Drew.
"One of the victims had stab wounds to his upper left thigh, and his right bicep.  The other victim suffered stab wounds to his chest," Drew said in a prepared release.  "The victims reported that they had been stabbed during an altercation at Bernard J. Cooke Park which is located on Burnt Tavern Road in Brick."
Police units were dispatched to the park to investigate but the suspect had already fled, Drew said.

In another incident less than 20 minutes later, a Hooper Avenue woman reported she was stabbed. Drew said the stabbing was a domestic dispute and unrelated to the other stabbing.

Around 9:30 p.m., police were called after the woman fled the home, running to the Walgreens on Drum Point Road, suffering stab wounds to her arm and neck.

Officer arrested Alex Morales Sr., 36, of Hooper Avenue, and he was charged with, Aggravated Assault, Terroristic Threats, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, and Possession of a Weapon. Morales was transported to Ocean County jail.
