According to police, a Miami man became “irate” when a woman he knew said she didn’t have “$4 and crack” to spare, leading him to stab her — and to his arrest on an attempted murder charge Thursday.
Milton de los Rios, 39, of Little Havana, is also facing an attempted armed robbery charge.
Miami police said the incident happened at around 1:45 a.m. in the area of Southwest 24th Avenue and Eighth Street, near the Little Havana and Shenandoah neighborhoods.
The woman told officers at the scene that de los Rios stabbed her in the stomach after he asked for the cash and drugs and she told him she didn’t have them, then ran away.
Police said they found him sitting on a staircase nearby, with a silver, bloodied knife nearby.
Medics took the woman to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where police said she was able to identify de los Rios as the suspect before going into surgery.
De los Rios was being held without bond in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Thursday evening, according to jail records.
