Woodbridge, Va. –– Police have made an arrest in a case where a man was stabbed and then left for dead.
Police said the 46-year-old man from Alexandria met his attacker at East Coast Billiards on U.S. 1 in Woodbridge on December 3.
Afterward, the two men went back to the home of the alleged attacker –– who police say is an illegal immigrant –– in the 14100 block of Franklin Street in Woodbridge where the victim was stabbed multiple times in the chest, said Prince William police spokeswoman Michelle Nemerow.
The victim was then forced back into his own vehicle and was driven to the area of Springfield Drive in Mason Neck, near the entrance to Gunston Hall plantation, was robbed of his cell phone and personal belongings, and then left him for dead, police say.
The attacker drove back to Woodbridge and the victim ended up in a nearby pond.
He was able to crawl out of the pond and seek help from someone who called 911, said Nemerow.
The man was taken to a local hospital, but because of his injuries was not able to tell police what happened. Only now, after he has recovered from some of his injuries, was he able to provide police with a clearer description of what happened that night.
The day after the victim was attacked, police say the suspect pawned the victim’s cell phone and then drove his car to Arlington and ditched it.
Gelber Boror, 19, of Woodbridge, is charged with aggravated malicious wounding, armed robbery, with providing false ID to law enforcement and with grand larceny auto.
He is expected to appear in court May 31.
