ROCKLAND— An illegal alien from Brazil who allegedly stabbed his roommate, then choked a police dog while fleeing in the woods, was ordered held without bail on Wednesday.
Julian Teixeira Demoura, 42, of 808 Market St., was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with attempted murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, defacing property, two counts of mistreating a police dog, cruelty to an animal, resisting arrest, giving a false name to a police officer and domestic assault and battery.
He pleaded innocent to the charges in Hingham District Court and will be held without bail until a dangerousness hearing on Monday.
A Brazilian citizen living illegally in the United States, Demoura was also ordered to be held because of an outstanding deportation warrant issued by the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Rockland Police Chief John Llewellyn.
Police said Demoura stabbed his roommate five times, including once in the stomach and three times in the back with a large kitchen knife, before fleeing his house when police arrived.
The roommate, Sergio Lana, 34, was listed in stable condition at Brockton Hospital on Wednesday. He told police Demoura had been drinking when he became enraged and threw a television through a glass coffee table and stabbed at and kicked in a bedroom door.
Police were alerted about 2:20 a.m. by a third roommate, and officer Steven Somers arrived on scene and spotted Demoura in the kitchen, holding the kitchen knife.
When the two made eye contact, Somers drew his gun and Demoura ran off toward the woods, police said. Somers then went to his cruiser to get his German shepherd police dog, Boyar.

I hope PETA goes after him as well!
Jail him and then deport him.
...just choking the police dogs Americans are unwilling to choke.
On the other hand, he’ll probably just be converted to Islam in jail, since Islamofascists are given free run of our prison system. Maybe instead he should be given a chance to run for it—with 100 attack dogs in pursuit.
What about roommates 4 thru 10? Where were they when roommate #2 needed help?
I see a scholarship in his future.
This one was a real gorilla, defeating not one but two police dogs.
Should have put this one on ice, as a public service.
Nope...I bet he has worked dogs before. Sounds like he used a trick known to most trainers. In the public interest, I will not reveal it here. FreepMail me for the details; I might let you know....
Stick him in a kennel with a bunch of other police dogs.
I would more suspect he was sambaing into the woods and was more easy to catch.
ALL police Departments need to deploy tigers.
I love police dogs, but it’s funny that this criminal can get a cruelty to animals charge when the dog was surely trying to bite him.
Unleash the hounds!
I am soooooooooooooo sick and tired of illegal immigrants.

Now we have to pay for his defense and his jail time.
Well if you think about it, it is a POLICE dog.
Assault on a police officer should be charged.
Dog is in the line of duty.
