VERO BEACH — A man was in custody after a beachside stabbing that left another man with serious injuries to his abdomen late Sunday, police said. A road rage incident in a parking lot led to the altercation between the two men, said Officer Kelsea Callahan, a spokesperson for the Vero Beach Police Department.
“We currently have one male detained and being held for questioning as a possible suspect,” Callahan said.
Vero Beach police officers responded to the incident about 6:35 p.m. in the 1700 block of Ocean Drive in the South Beach Park parking lot. Police spoke with witnesses and combed the area for evidence.
The injured man was taken by ambulance to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce, Callahan said. Charges for the suspect were still being determined.
“We will know further after the investigation is complete and the detective collects evidence and statements from all parties and witnesses involved,” Callahan said.
No further information was immediately available.
