A Middletown man is accused of stabbing two people on Sunday night, police said.
Police were called for a man and woman stabbed at 500 Washington Street at 3:35 p.m.
The woman had been stabbed in the stomach, while the man had stabbed wounds to his stomach and upper left chest, Middletown Police said.
Both victims were transported to Hartford Hospital and were "physically unable" to provide details on the incident. However, they were able to identify the attacker as the next door neighbor, Kevin Gerard Foster, according to Middletown Police.
Witnesses told police an argument started when the woman alleged that Foster had been looking at her through a window. The two victims then left Foster to use the phone outside. When they returned moments later, they said, Foster stabbed them.
Foster told police that the man instigated the attack by kicking him in the groin and the woman came at him with a "hammer type instrument", police said.
The 62-year-old man said he was able to block the assault and stabbed her in the stomach.
