An illegal alien who had been deported from the United States once before was sentenced Tuesday to four to 10 years in a state prison for stabbing a man in Warminster.

Angel Lopez, 33, a native of El Salvador who was living in Warminster when he was arrested, will likely be deported again after serving his sentence. He pleaded guilty in Bucks County court to aggravated assault and related charges.

Lopez admitted that he stabbed Santos Lopez, 27, following an argument at the Bucks Landing Apartments on March 17. The men, who are distant relatives, were arguing when Angel Lopez pulled out a switchblade and slashed Santos Lopez across the stomach.

The victim also suffered stab wounds to his arms and back, and had to undergo emergency surgery. He was hospitalized for four days.
