BRIDGETON - A suspected illegal immigrant was charged early Sunday with stabbing a man he had been drinking with throughout the night in his arm and back.

The stabbing occurred at 249 N. Laurel St. around 2:50 a.m., according to police.

Police allege 50-year-old Jose Medel, who had been living in the 200 block of North Laurel Street, stabbed the 22-year-old victim after the much younger man refused to fight him.

When police came into contact with the victim outside his North Laurel Street home around 3 a.m., they found he had a 1-inch cut to his left arm and a quarter-inch cut to his upper back.

He was taken to South Jersey Healthcare-Regional Medical Center, in Vineland, for treatment.

Medel was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Bail on those charges was set at $25,000.

Medel will be held in Cumberland County Jail without bail, however, on a detainer issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Police recovered the knife believed used in the stabbing from Medel, Bridgeton Police Capt. Burl Kimble said on Monday.
