A man in the 1960s stabbed at Jacksonville McDonald’s dies at the hospital

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man described as being about 60 years old died after being stabbed “several times” on Thursday afternoon in a McDonald’s on Old St. Augustine Road, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Sgt. Blinn, along with the sheriff’s office, said officers were called to the scene at about 3:30 p.m. He said the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, which was also called to the scene, transported the man to a hospital where he died of his injuries.

A suspect, who was described as a man between 30 and 40 years old, was taken into custody. Blinn said he was found nearby after fleeing the scene on foot.

“What we believe is that the victim and the suspect know each other. They were inside the restaurant and, at one point, an altercation ensued, and the suspect stabbed the victim several times, “said Blinn. “The individuals were restaurant owners and are not employees.”

Blinn said she believes the two men are “acquaintances or friends,” but their exact relationship is unclear. Their identities have not been released.
