A late-night robbery in northwest Miami-Dade ended with a man stabbed multiple times and rushed to the hospital, while the attackers took off with his belongings, according to deputies. Investigators say the victim was later found at home and taken to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
What deputies say
Deputies say the attack unfolded around 11 p.m. Thursday, when two suspects approached the man, pulled out knives and demanded his property. A struggle broke out and the victim was stabbed several times before the suspects ran off with his belongings, according to NBC6. Instead of calling authorities, deputies say the injured man left the scene and did not immediately report what had happened.
Neighborhood context
The stretch of northwest Miami-Dade where this happened has already been on edge over recent violence. Earlier this week, authorities arrested a suspect in a separate stabbing in the area, as reported by Local 10. In another incident, a stabbing in the area was followed by a vehicle collision, a one-two punch that has only amplified residents’ safety concerns.
Investigation ongoing
Deputies say they eventually tracked the victim to his home near Northwest 200th Street and Oakmont Circle around 10:40 a.m. Friday, after responding to a call in the area. There, they discovered he had multiple stab wounds. He was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition, and detectives are still working the case, with no further details released so far, according to NBC6.
