A 60-year-old man stabbed in Jacksonville McDonald’s dies in hospital

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A roughly 60-year-old qualified man died after being stabbed “several times” Thursday afternoon at a McDonald’s in Old St. Louis. Augustine Road, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Sergeant. Blinn, with the sheriff’s office, said officers were called to the scene around 3:30 p.m. He said the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, which was also called to the scene, transported the man to a hospital where he died from his injuries.

One suspect, who was described as a man in his 30s and 40s, was arrested. Blinn said he was found nearby after fleeing the scene on foot.

“What we believe is that the victim and the suspect know each other. They were inside the restaurant and at some point there was an altercation and the suspect stabbed the victim several times, “Blinn said.” People were patrons of the restaurant and they are not employees. “

Blinn said he believed the two men were “acquaintances or friends,” but their exact relationship was unclear. Their identities were not disclosed.
