Christopher Dalzell, 58, is charged with attempted murder and weapons possession in the incident inside a Cedar Bridge Avenue house, according to information from the office of Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato.

The 50-year-old woman, admitted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune in critical condition, told Brick Township police that she knew her attacker and that he was in the bedroom, investigators said.

The victim was stabbed in the chest and abdomen, investigators said. Dalzell's bail was set at $250,000, no 10-percent payment option for release, and he was ordered to avoid contact with the victim.
