Authorities said the altercation occurred while two women and a man were in a South Main Street home.

A man suffered a knife wound to the chest late Sunday night in a Phillipsburg home.

Two women and the man were in the home about 11:15 p.m. in the 400 block of South Main Street when Leslie Caul, 26, slashed the man with a knife during an altercation, Warren County Prosecutor Richard Burke said Monday night.

A knife was later found in the street.

Both woman -- neither in handcuffs -- were taken away in a police vehicle, but only one was charged, Burke said.

Caul is charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, Burke said. She remained jailed Monday evening in Warren County, records show.

As police investigated, the victim was on a porch and the two women were in a nearby backyard.

The man's injuries were not life-threatening, Burke said, and the victim appeared conscious and alert as the town emergency squad took him to an ambulance. He hard a large white bandage across his chest.

Phillipsburg police plan on releasing more information on Tuesday morning, authorities said.
