"On Saturday, police in Patterson, New Jersey, arrested Saul Velasquez, 42, and charged him with first-degree assault, after he allegedly slashed another man’s throat at a New Year’s Eve party."

"The victim, Sergio Perez Lopez, was taken to Putnam Hospital Center and required 13 stitches to close the cut on his neck. He told police that as he was placing logs into the fireplace, Velasquez came up from behind and cut his throat."

"Police have not determined a motive, but say the attack was unprovoked."

"Velasquez is currently being held in the Putnam County jail and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been notified."

"If convicted, Velasquez faces up to 25 years in prison. His next court appearance is scheduled for January 20."
