According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Department, the stabbing occurred around 3:45 p.m. Saturday at the baseball fields near a VFW hall at 17401 Morse Street in Lowell.

A man randomly attacked the 13-year-old with a butcher’s knife, police said.

According to official information, the girl was 14 years old.

He also tried to stab the girl’s mother, who intervened in the attack, police said.

The girl’s injuries were treated at a hospital before being released.

ABC7 Chicago spoke with Matthew Ramian, the coach of the baseball team that was playing when the stabbing happened.

“He just jumped on her and knocked her over,” Ramian said. “Then he pulled out what I call a Bowie knife, a big 16-, 18-inch knife, and just started hitting her with it.”

Ramian said several fathers chased the suspect before losing sight of him.

The suspect was pursued into a wooded area behind homes in the 6100 block of Oak Valley Drive, the sheriff’s office confirmed.

After asking the public for help in locating the 26-year-old suspect on Sunday morning, the Sheriff’s Department announced that the suspect is now in custody.

The Sheriff’s Department believes that the suspect attempted to cut his hair shortly before his arrest in order to change his appearance.

The sheriff’s department also said Yanes was deported to Honduras in 2018 but illegally re-entered the United States and committed crimes in at least five states, including Nassau County, New York; Madison County, Illinois; Cobb County, Georgia; Williams County, Ohio; and Lake County, Indiana.

His previous convictions include assault, trespassing, drunkenness, attempted burglary and now attempted murder, police said.

The sheriff’s department said he was deemed a risk to police officer safety and national security due to documented ties to the international gang MS-13.
