Updated Sunday 3:11 p.m.

A man and woman are both in police custody Sunday afternoon following a domestic dispute at Crown Village Condominiums that left the man and a third woman with superficial stab wounds.  

Meriden police responded to a three-person domestic dispute at the Crown Village Condominum Complex about 9 a.m. Sunday morning, to find a woman whose hand was cut and a man whose leg and chest had been cut, Meriden police said.

Blood stains and a child's car seat were still visible on the sidewalk in a cordoned-off area in front of the Crown Village Condominium complex in Meriden Sunday at noon.

The injuries were non-life-threatening, according to Lt. Thomas Cossette, despite there being "a lot of blood" at the scene.The man with the injuries, Anthony Devon, 55, of 525 Crown St. was taken to Hartford Hospital and released to Meriden Police on Sunday. He and Ernestine Walter, 47, also of 525 Crown St, and the woman who police say stabbed him are currently in police custody. Police say Devon assaulted Walter and have charged him with strangulation, threatening, disorderly conduct and breach of peace. Walter is charged with assault in the second degree, disorderly conduct and breach of peace.

Police said it was the third woman, who is not cooperating with police, whose hand was "nicked."

A neighbor whose unit is close to the sidewalk heard a man and woman arguing there at about 8:30 a.m. Sunday

"I just kept hearing her swear," the neighbor, who asked that her name not be used, said. She received a phone call during the argument, and when she got off, she said "there was a pile of police cars -- in a matter of minutes, something had happened."
