An illegal immigrant caught urinating in public in Maryland used a box-cutter to viciously attack a man who suggested he use a bathroom, according to a report Tuesday.

The victim was treated for slash wounds to his neck, face and stomach after the attack, which occurred two months ago at a bus terminal in Montgomery County outside Washington, WJLA-TV reported.

The accused attacker, Salvador Gomez-Lopez, 46, of Montgomery County, was allegedly drunk and belligerent at the time, the station reported.

Court records show Gomez-Lopez was arrested on two counts of assault, public intoxication and possession of a dangerous weapon with intent to injure. He was indicted a few weeks later. A judge called his case last week but he was not present for the conference. He has an April trial date and is being held on $5,000 bond.

A spokeswoman with Immigration Customs and Enforcement told Fox News on Tuesday that Gomez-Lopez was in the U.S. illegally from El Salvador.

ICE “lodged a detainer” following his arrest in Maryland and he was also a fugitive, the spokeswoman said.

Montgomery County police told Fox News that questions about the arrest were being handled by the state prosecutor's office which did not immediately return calls.

WJLA reported that when cops got to the bus terminal they were met by the bloody victim and another person who witnessed the attack.

The pair explained the trouble began when Gomez-Lopez started to relieve himself in plain view of other bus riders, the station reported.

As he was doing so, the victim suggested that Gomez-Lopez should pull up his pants and use a bathroom.

That's when Gomez-Lopez reportedly pulled out a razor-sharp box-cutter from his backpack, the station reported.

A fierce struggle ensued and Gomez-Lopez and the victim allegedly wound up on the pavement.

The victim ultimately pried away the weapon but only after suffering serious lacerations, including three deep cuts to his neck, according to WJLA.

Cops arrested Gomez-Lopez at the scene.

The station reported that, according to police, Gomez-Lopez was "uncooperative" and gave arresting officers a phony name when he was questioned.

Court records show he is the father of two children and was working part-time for a relative doing odd jobs, the station reported.

Police: Man tells undocumented immigrant to stop peeing at bus stop, gets stabbed in neck

by KEVIN LEWIS, WJLA


WHEATON, Md. (WJLA) - An undocumented immigrant urinating in public used a box cutter to repeatedly stab a man who had merely suggested he pull up his trousers and use a proper restroom, police say.

On Nov. 30, around 11 p.m., Montgomery County Police were dispatched to the Wheaton Metro bus turnaround along Georgia Avenue. Upon stepping out of their cruisers, officers saw a man with stab wounds and bloody slashes to his neck, face and stomach.

That victim, plus an uninjured eyewitness, pointed officers toward Salvador Gomez-Lopez, 46, who was allegedly drunk and belligerent. The two men explained that Gomez-Lopez was relieving himself in plain view of fellow bus passengers. When the victim questioned his actions, Gomez-Lopez reportedly reached into his backpack and grabbed hold of a razor-sharp box cutter.

What followed was a physical tussle that landed both Gomez-Lopez and the victim on the cold bus stop pavement. The victim ultimately pried away the knife, but only after suffering serious lacerations, including three deep cuts to the neck.

Police say Gomez-Lopez was "uncooperative," provided them with a fake name during questioning and has meager ties to the community.

According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Gomez-Lopez is an El Salvadoran national who is in the United States illegally. ICE has since lodged an immigration detainer against Gomez-Lopez. He is currently in Montgomery County custody.

According to court filings, Gomez-Lopez has two children and worked part time doing odd maintenance jobs for a relative. The victim did survive, but the extent of his injuries remain unknown.

Gomez-Lopez is scheduled for a three-day trial in Montgomery County Circuit Court in early April. The Maryland Office of the Public Defender is representing him. He faces up to 38 years in prison on charges of first-degree assault, second-degree assault and carrying a dangerous weapon with the intent to injure.
