Breaking News: Illegal Immigrant in Custody After Girl Stabbing Incident at Indiana Sports Event!
On Sunday, Dimas Gabriel Yanez, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras, was arrested following a manhunt in Indiana. Yanez was a key suspect in the random stabbing of a 14-year-old girl at a baseball game in Lowell, Indiana.
The incident occurred on Saturday when the girl was at her brother’s game. Yanez reportedly attacked her with a butcher-style knife, injuring her hand. When the girl’s mother tried to intervene, Yanez attempted to stab her as well before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, the girl has been treated and released from the hospital.
Authorities quickly identified Yanez as a person of interest and warned the public that he was armed and dangerous. They recovered a knife believed to be used in the attack. As the search for Yanez intensified, he was spotted in the southern part of Lake County.
Later that Sunday afternoon, a sheriff’s deputy spotted Yanez running through a cornfield, leading to his arrest. Authorities believe Yanez was trying to alter his appearance by cutting his hair to evade capture.
Yanez had been previously deported to Honduras in 2018 and was suspected of engaging in criminal activities in the U.S. since his illegal re-entry. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security was notified of his arrest.
