A Paterson man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder for his alleged role in a violent road rage incident in Paramus, according to Bergen County authorities.

Christian A. Velez, 24-year-old, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon for his alleged role in the December 28 incident.

Velez allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old man multiple times in the back, side, and arm on Route 4 East in Paramus after a road rage incident. He fled the scene, authorities said.

Authorities said the victim was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, where he is in stable condition.
