A fight over a woman took a strange turn when one man accidentally stabbed himself while repeatedly stabbing someone else, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

How that happened isn’t clear, but both men ended up in a hospital, according to a news release.

The fight erupted around 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4, at a home on Fine Street in Weeki Wachee, about 55 miles north of Tampa, the sheriff’s office says.

Neither of the men live at the home, but bad timing saw them bumping into each other there, and they “soon became engaged in an argument over a woman residing at the residence,” the sheriff’s office said.

“During the argument, (one) brandished a large knife and began stabbing the victim repeatedly. During the incident, (he) also accidentally stabbed himself,” officials said. “The victim was eventually able to flee the residence.”

The knife attacker apparently said that he didn't want to kill his victim, just put the fear of God into him. If that was the case, why didn't he just beat the crap out of him?

Deputies found the 26-year-old suspect at a neighbor’s home, where he explained there was no ill intent when “he stabbed the victim numerous times,” officials said.

"I missed! Just don't know how that could happen!"

That’s a lot easier than you think. Watching true life crime shows you know that to be the case.

Catching yourself while stickin’ someone else really isn’t all that rare.

Very common way cops catch a stabbing perp.

They cut themselves during stabbing and presto.....instant DNA

“ Catching yourself while stickin’ someone else really isn’t all that rare.”

It’s not. They often slice up their hands too.

Florida Man can’t aim a knife.

Tis but a scratch, a flesh wound.

“The victim was eventually able to flee the residence.”

Running Away? "I'll bite your legs off"

[Rockingham]

Unintended, self-inflicted knife wounds are fairly common when a knife is used in an assault.

Always Florida Man, never the continuing misadventures of Iowa Man

All of you know the truth.

Pretty easy for a person to cut themselves while using a knife on another.

It takes practice and technique to avoid that.

I thought that was kinda what I said

“Always Florida Man...”

Just because they live here doesn’t mean they are FROM here......and more than likely, thats more times than not

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

You’d likely have more of those if Iowa had the open records laws that Florida has.

I was doing some Simunitions training with a guy, and he shot himself while trying to shoot me. It happens.

This is just a guess but I’m predicting that meth is involved.
