The man who allegedly stabbed a 51-year-old in northeast Austin has been charged with attempted murder.

Daniel Irlas, 32, faces one count of second-degree attempted murder, two counts of first-degree burglary and two counts of felony assault after he allegedly stabbed someone at the 1000 block of Fifth Street Northeast on Dec. 26.

According to the court complaint, the victim stepped in to a fight Irlas had with his girlfriend on Christmas Day at a friend’s house because the victim didn’t like Irlas getting physical with a woman.

Irlas also allegedly took the victim’s iPod and a speaker, and tried to stash it in another person’s car.

Irlas allegedly came to the home on Fifth Avenue Northeast at about 4:45 a.m. Dec. 26. When the victim answered the door, Irlas and two unidentified men assaulted him, according to two witnesses at the home. The witnesses went to a nearby residence to get help after they saw the victim was stabbed.

Police saw Irlas leaving the scene in a dark-colored SUV as they responded to the stabbing call.

The victim was taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin before he was airlifted to Mayo Clinic Rochester — St. Marys Campus.

The victim suffered a broken nose, two stab wounds to the torso — including one that pierced his diaphragm — and a contusion on his left ear.

Irlas will be in court on Jan. 15.
