A Porter Township man used a knife for cutting open boxes to stab another man in the head at a Valparaiso fitness center over the weekend, creating a wound so deep it reached the victim’s brain stem and endangered his life, according to charging documents.
Jordan Andrade, 24, remains in custody at the Porter County Jail after the altercation and told police he believed the victim “was going to assassinate me,” documents state. Andrade is charged with attempted murder, a Level 1 felony, and aggravated battery, a Level 3 felony. He has an initial hearing scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday before Porter Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Clymer during which his bond will be set. Valparaiso Police were called around 9 a.m.
” He told police he didn’t know the man but described him as having a tan skin tone. Andrade told police he made sure that he reacted “the right way” after the victim reportedly threatened him while the two were in the massage chair room, and he told staff right away. “I believe he said he was going to assassinate me,” Andrade told police.
