Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Last night during an argument in the parking lot of a Hialeah convenience store, a man pulled a machete and slashed his opponent in the face. Police are now searching for the suspect while the victim recovers in the hospital.
The attack happened outside the Kwik Stop on E. Eighth Avenue and 26th Street. According to NBC Miami, the two men knew each other and started arguing. One of the men then pulled out a machete and hit the other over the face with it.
The victim suffered a serious gash to the face that was so severe he had to be airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital. He’s now in stable condition and is expected to survive.
Police are now searching for the suspect who drove away in a pickup truck.
