Police said Alexander, 40, was working as a contractor shoveling snow in the Lake Ridge community when the victim threw a snowball at him.
Alexander is accused of cutting the victim’s throat with the box cutter. The victim was flown to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries but is expected to survive.
