Carlos Corrales-Ramirez stabbed Hernandez-Sanchez with a large knife, according to court papers obtained by NewsChannel 13.

He was arrested by Border Patrol in March near New York’s border with Canada.
He was turned over to the New York State Police to be sent to Maryland to face those charges, Border Patrol said. He was last known to be in the Clinton County Correctional Facility awaiting extradition, according to State Police.
