Police say a 19-year-old illegal immigrant brutally stabbed an Alexandria man in December, then abducted the man and left him for dead in Fairfax County.
Prince William County police said Thursday that Gelber Boror, of the 14400 block of Gemstone Drive in Woodbridge, is charged in the attack.
Boror and the victim, a 46-year-old man, met at East Coast Billiards in Woodbridge, then went to a home on the 14100 block of Franklin Street on Dec. 1, police said. There, Boror allegedly stabbed the man several times in the chest, forced him into his own vehicle and drove him to Fairfax County.
Boror then dumped the man near a pond in the Springfield Drive area in Lorton, police said.
Officer Michelle Nemerow, a Prince William County police spokeswoman, said she didn’t know how Boror and the victim knew each other or why they were meeting that night.
Boror took the victim’s cell phone and personal belongs, then drove back to Woodbridge, according to police.
Police said the victim somehow ended up in a pond, crawled out of the water and flagged down a passer-by, who called 911.
He was hospitalized and could not immediately be interviewed because of the severity of his injuries.
Nemerow would not say whether there was any kind of dispute that led to the attack.
The day after the abduction and assault, Boror pawned the victim’s cell phone and ditched his car in Arlington County, according to police. Arlington police found the car the following day.
Police said Boror is in the country illegally and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has placed a detainer on him.
Nemerow said Boror is from Guatemala and came into the United States about four years ago.
He was arrested Wednesday. Boror is facing charges of abduction, aggravated malicious wounding, armed robbery, grand larceny auto and providing false identification to law enforcement. When officers arrived located Boror at his home, he gave police a fake name, Nemerow said.
Boror was being held without bond Thursday and is scheduled to appear in court on May 31.
