This might be one of the last places you might expect this to happen, but a man used a box cutter to stab someone on Sanibel. He was arrested on the Sanibel Causeway.
According to NBC-2, the Sanibel Police Department was called to the “C” span of the Sanibel Causeway at 1:30pm Wednesday. When they arrived, all of the individuals involved were on the causeway. After further investigation, police learned the incident actually occurred at a job site on Sandcastle Road on Sanibel Island. Eligao Alberta Sivira Hernandez was the one involved in an argument with the victim and cut them with a box cutter.
Hernandez fled the job site as the victim and a witness went to the hospital in another vehicle. According to the officers, all three of the involved people stopped at the same spot on the Causeway for some reason. That’s when the victim and the witness locked themselves in their car and called 911.
EMS treated the victim’s injury as well as Hernandez for what was apparently a self-inflicted cut on his left arm.
Hernandez was then arrested and taken to Lee County Jail. The investigation continues and there is certainly much more to this story to come.
