Javier Moran
A Lake County man is facing aggravated battery charges following a knife attack Friday at a residential motel near Libertyville.
Lake County sheriff’s officials said 54-year-old Javier Moran and another resident of the motel on the 31200 block of North Route 45 got into a fight late Friday after the pair had been drinking.
Moran attacked the victim with a knife, causing multiple minor cuts, sheriff’s investigators said.
The victim refused transport to a hospital for treatment, but Moran requested transport for injuries sustained while being subdued, authorities said.
Felony charges against Moran were later approved and he is being held at the Lake County jail awaiting a detention hearing slated for later today.
