At approximately 7:40 a.m., a dispute began at an apartment in a building located at Ridge Road, near Belleville Turnpike in North Arlington.

The argument then "spilled into the street and turned into a confrontation," Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

Upon arrival officials discovered a 43-year-old woman with a stab wound to her stomach, Musella said.

She was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for treatment, he added.

According to Musella, the victim was attacked by Bueso and Coates during what Musella described as an "altercation."

A 20-year-old man was also stabbed by Coates, authorities said.

He was treated and released from Clara Maass Medical Center, officials said.

He was stabbed by Coates, the prosecutor added.

Musella did not make comments on a possible motive for the attack and an investigation is ongoing.
