Paul Ramirez, 42, stabbed the 24-year-old victim near the corner of Ackerman and Randolph avenues shortly before 11:30 p.m. June 26, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Clifton Police Chief Thomas Rinaldi said in a joint release.
They didn’t offer a possible motive, nor did they say what type of weapon was used -- or whether it had been recovered.
Valdes and Rinaldi did say that the victim, who's also from Passaic, was treated at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center for a non-fatal wound and that Ramirez was identified as his assailant.

Ramirez remained held Monday in the Passaic County Jail, charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons possession, records show.
