A gas station employee was randomly stabbed by a man in Florida, who has been charged with attempted murder
When a clerk asked if he needed help, Tucker declined. However, as the female clerk was stocking merchandise, Tucker allegedly stabbed her from behind and hit her on the side and in the back. The victim was able to escape but eventually fell to the floor. Tucker allegedly stabbed her in the chest several more times after she fell. Tucker then ran into the woods. The victim was stabbed nine times and was taken to a local hospital.
The attack was completely unprovoked, according to Davenport Police Chief Steve Parker. Tucker is homeless and has multiple arrests that date back to 2013, including assault, resisting an officer, domestic violence, theft, and battery. He was released in January from the Florida State Prison System after he served less than a year out of a 20-month prison sentence for multiple counts of battery on a law enforcement officer.
