A man accused of stabbing a transgender 17-year-old girl with a butcher knife at Miami International Airport on Sunday was arrested and charged with attempted murder, police said.

Alexander Love, 29, was charged with first-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon and attempted premeditated murder, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Officers responded to Terminal J around 11:30 p.m. after reports of a stabbing, officials said in a news release.

She was taken to a local medical center in critical condition and had emergency surgery, officials said.

Love was taken into custody shortly after the attack by Customs and Border Patrol, the arrest report says.

"The defendant added he was possibly drugged and someone inserted an unknown object in his rectum," the report says.

He was denied bond in court Monday and ordered not to contact the victim, NBC South Florida reported. »
