State Police confirmed that the home belongs to Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, who was not home at the time of the incident. Diggs, commonly known as RZA, is a founder of the Staten Island-based rap group Wu-Tang Clan. The group was in Austin, Texas, playing the Fun Fun Fun festival.
When authorities arrived at the home, they found two men stabbed, police said.
The two men suffered non-life threatening stab wounds and were flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Detectives were able to identify Norman as the suspect and Manalapan Township police arrested him later that day for unrelated warrants, police said.
He was taken to the Monmouth County jail in lieu of $120,000 bail with no 10-percent option.
State Police did not release the name of the victims for "investigative purposes."
They asked anyone with information to contact troopers at the Hamilton station at 609-594-5000 ext. 5286.
