A Millville man wanted for attempted murder was arrested Friday in Atlantic City.
Carles Bryant, 34, is accused of stabbing a woman who had a restraining order against him multiple times during a fight March 3, in the lobby of a Howard Johnson in Toms River.
Police were called to the hotel on Hooper Avenue at about 10:30 p.m., and found the woman unresponsive with stab wounds to her head, face and body, according to the charges.
The woman, whose name was not made public, has since been released from the hospital.
A warrant for Bryant's arrest was issued the next day.
