A Border Patrol agent looking for illegal activity near the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday was stabbed when he or she tried to arrest a group of suspected illegal aliens, Customs and Border Protection officials said.
The agent “was attacked and stabbed multiple times while on patrol near Nogales,” a town of some 20,000 in southeast Arizona, said Roy Villareal, chief patrol agent of the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector.
