"This defendant allegedly drove a man that he knew to a remote beach and attacked him from behind with a knife. The evidence recovered from his vehicle raises serious questions about what he intended that night."
"Once there, authorities said Ramirez attacked the man from behind while the two were walking back to Ramirez's SUV. Ramirez then covered the man's mouth with a cloth and stabbed him."
"The man, who suffered stab wounds to his side and hands, was able to wrestle the knife away and escape in Ramirez's SUV. He called 911 and drove to a friend's house in Queens, where he met police and was taken to a hospital."
"Investigators who searched his SUV recovered multiple kitchen knives -- including one believed to have blood on it -- as well as rope, duct tape, blankets, plastic sheeting, gloves and a box cutter."
Ruben Guanipa Ramirez, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national, was indicted for second-degree attempted murder and assault after allegedly luring a man to Gilgo Beach and attacking him with a knife. Prosecutors stated that Ramirez drove the victim to various locations before the attack. During the incident, he attempted to slit the victim's throat but the man managed to escape and call for help. Investigators found multiple knives and other suspicious items in Ramirez's vehicle. He entered the U.S. in 2014 on a tourist visa and did not leave.
