A homeless Florida man in bloody clothes was arrested Tuesday after stabbing a hiker who befriended him on a trail for "unknown reasons," authorities said.
The stabbing happened on the Florida Natural Scenic Trail in Crestview after the hiker and his wife set up camp and met the homeless man, who was later identified as 37-year-old Jonathan Davis, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said.
Davis stabbed the 45-year-old hiker, who was visiting from Ohio, in the abdomen and left the area, according to authorities. Investigators said it was unclear what led to the attack.
The hiker’s wife trekked to an area where she could use her cell phone and called 911 for help. Her husband was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition but was expected to survive.

Local story here....................
Unknown reasons? What did the stabbing victim have to say about it? As a WAG, I suspect a nut case with a criminal record looking for someone to rob and ending up with attempted murder?
since he didn’t attack a Democrat politician’s spouse, he will most likely be let loose immediately to victimize more innocent citizens.
(who befriended him on a trail for “unknown reasons,”)
Well.......
Don’t pet the bison.
Always befriend people off the trail for known reasons

No good deed goes unstabbed.
Thanks DemocRATS!!
Nah, it’s Florida. He’ll be held without bail, charged with attempted murder and get a cot and three hots for 10 years.
That Florida Man needs to chill.
“Her husband was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition but was expected to survive”
Well that’s good news anyway.......I suspect dude will be incarcerated for quite a while.
Paranoid schizophrenic? Meth head?
This is why I never hike or camp without a gun AND knife at my side.
Not in Florida, or at least that part of it.
Probably all three..............
It happened to a close friend of mine, who was constantly helping homeless transients.
On the radio, one evening, I heard he had been stabbed in the chest and was taken to the hospital with a punctured lung.
When I talked to him about it, he said the person who stabbed him was a very nice guy, when he wasn't drinking...
Why do all crime stories in the US either have the word “Teen” or “Florida Man” in the title? i never see “Montana Man” or “Iowa Woman” or “Vietnamese Kid”
He was probably a MAGA Republican Conservative who saw the hiker was wearing Birkenstocks or something.
At least, that is what the Left will say. I am so sick of this.
