Man Charged With Attempted Murder OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. -- A woman was stabbed below the pelvis while walking on a sidewalk in Osceola County by a man carrying a boombox who attempted to talk to her in Spanish, deputies said.
The woman was stabbed on Monday at about 9:45 p.m. near the 4400 block of W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway.
A man who had no identification but told deputies his name was Angel Santana, 28, was arrested and charged with attempted murder, armed robbery and resisting without violence.
Deputies said they found the woman bleeding on the sidewalk after a witness tried to track down the assailant.
The victim told Osceola County sheriff's deputies that the man approached her and grabbed her when she said she could not speak Spanish. She then tried to run away, but the man stabbed her below the pelvis with a knife, deputies said.
The victim was transported to Lakeland Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The assailant grabbed the woman's purse and fled on foot, deputies said.
A person coming out of a nearby restaurant saw the altercation and attempted to chase the man but was unable to catch him, deputies said.
Deputies later found a man matching the description of the assailant.
The suspect was booked into the Osceola County Jail as John Doe No. 2057 because he did not have identification on him at the time of the arrest.
