According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, deputies received reports of a stabbing on Monday that happened near the 8000 block of Northwest 75th Avenue.

Deputies said the victim and R knew each other. R was taken into custody.
Prosecutors at a bond court hearing on Tuesday said “this is now, since 2022, the fourth time Mr. R has appeared before a first appearance judge with allegations of felony-level violence against his brother.”
“He was arrested earlier this year for aggravated battery and battery. Those charges were dropped. He was arrested last year for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He was arrested in [2022] for felony battery causing great bodily harm. Those were dropped as well. And now, he stands before the court accused of attacking his brother with a knife, causing multiple injuries, lacerations from cuts with a knife,” the prosecutor said.
