A homeless illegal immigrant who had been previously deported was arrested after stabbing a man on the Charlotte Light Rail — just four months after the horrific Iryna Zarutska killing.
Oscar Solarzano was arrested on charges of first-degree attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon causing serious injury, breaking and entering, carrying a concealed weapon and being intoxicated and disruptive, according to court records. He is being held without bond.
Solarzano, 33, allegedly attempted to kill a man on the Charlotte, North Carolina light rail Friday around 5.pm. with a large knife, according to police records.
The illegal immigrant from Honduras allegedly broke and entered into the light rail train while drunk and challenged his victim to a fight before stabbing him, causing serious injuries.
He was shouting and slurring his words, per police records.
The victim was hospitalized with serious injuries at Novant Health Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition, ABC News reported.
His address on court records matches a location of The Roof Above homeless shelter.
Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia Lockwood said that Solarzano had been deported from the country twice before illegally returning to the country again for a third time in a post on X.
“His criminal history includes prior arrests for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, destroying evidence, resisting arrest, using a false ID, and convictions for robbery and illegally re-entry.

“This criminal illegal alien was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2018 and removed by the Trump Administration on March 9, 2018. He was apprehended illegally crossing the border again in 2021 and was again removed. He entered the country illegally for a THIRD time at an unknown date and location,” Lockwood said.
The Post was not able to confirm Solarzanno’s criminal history.
His vicious attempted murder comes just four months after the heinous killing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.
She was stabbed multiple times in August by a homeless career criminal on the the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte after she fled her homeland for a safer life after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine War.
Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was identified as the suspect and charged with first-degree murder. The homeless schizophrenic was seen on surveillance footage unfolding a pocket knife and moving to plunge it into the innocent 23-year-old as she absentmindedly stared at her phone in the seat in front of him.
Chilling videos obtained by The Post showed him calmly walking off the train after fatally slashing Zarustka three times — including once in the neck.
Brown Jr. was arrested in North Carolina at least 14 times since 2007 for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery and larceny.
“Another stabbing by an Illegal Migrant in Charlotte, North Carolina. What’s going on in Charlotte? Democrats are destroying it, like everything else, piece by piece!!!” President Trump posted on Truth Social.
