Police said Meszaros' fiancee and two other people suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds.
According to police, Meszaros told investigators he was startled after seeing officers in the area, and he started swinging the knife so he could leave the crowd.
Meszaros was ordered held Tuesday on a $30,000 bond for three charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Volusia County jail records didn't show whether he has an attorney.
