An illegal immigrant was arrested early Wednesday in Chambersburg, after police said he stabbed a woman three times with a large kitchen knife.

Baldomero Velasco-Lopez, 37, who was living in the 700 block of Broad Street in Chambersburg, has been charged with attempted criminal homicide and aggravated assault. He was denied bail and is being held in Franklin County Prison.

The 35-year-old woman he is accused of stabbing was first brought to the Chambersburg Hospital before she was airlifted to the York Hospital Trauma Center. She was listed Wednesday in stable condition after suffering three stab wounds to the back, according to police.

The incident occurred at a house in the 300 block of Philadelphia Avenue. The woman's children were asleep inside the house during the incident, police said.

The woman was assaulted inside and outside of the house by Velasco-Lopez, according to police. They said he left the woman lying on an outside sidewalk before leaving. Police were called around 12:20 a.m. to the residence.

Velasco-Lopez was arrested around 1:40 a.m. in the 200 block of South Third Street. Police said they learned after his apprehension that he was living in the country illegally.

A preliminary court hearing has been tentatively scheduled for Sept. 16.
