Detectives from the Broward Sheriff’s Office have released surveillance footage of an “unprovoked” stabbing incident at a gas station in Dania Beach and are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the attacker.
According to BSO, the incident occurred just before midnight on May 19 at the Sunoco Gas Station at 1201 South Federal Highway.
Initially responding to a reported shooting, BSO deputies reportedly discovered a man who had been stabbed.
The victim tried to go after his attacker but was unable to catch him, according to police.
The victim was treated at the hospital.
Surveillance footage shows the victim at the gas station beside a white truck when the subject, wearing a gray hoodie with “The North Face” logo on the back, approaches and stabs him before fleeing.
Investigators said they believe the stabbing was random, with no prior interaction between the victim and the assailant.
