Sheriff – NBC 6 South Florida

Shocking new video shows a homeless man attacking and stabbing people in a Florida park when they offered to buy him food instead of giving him money, authorities said.

The video was released Thursday by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office and shows the frightening encounter that happened in Indiantown.

Authorities said Jerquavious Jackson, 22, asked some park visitors for money, but they offered him food instead.

Jackson “exploded into a violent rage when he didn’t get the response he wanted” and began violently attacking and stabbing the victims, authorities said.

One of the victims was able to film the attack as Jackson went on a rampage.

At one point in the video, Jackson attacks a man with a bicycle, grabs the bike and throws it at the man before lifting the man up and throwing him to the ground.

Jackson stole the bike and fled the scene, but was later found and taken into custody, the sheriff’s office said.

When he was arrested, he had a box cutter stained with dried blood, authorities said.

Jackson was charged with armed robbery, aggravated battery and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Two victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the incident.
