In a troubling incident in Florida, reports indicate that a bartender was arrested after allegedly stabbing a patron multiple times in the head and back.
The confrontation happened at the Grumpy subway bar in Orlando last Sunday. Jason Wilfredo Rosario, 30, allegedly attacked the victim after the two had exchanged words. It appears the argument escalated outside the bar, where Rosario reportedly inflicted ten stab wounds to the man’s left back before continuing to fight.
The altercation reportedly started over a misunderstanding about an unserved drink. Despite attempts by the bar manager to intervene, Rosario became increasingly confrontational, even making offensive remarks about the victim’s deceased mother.
Witnesses claim Rosario expressed aggression and left the area, only to later re-engage with the victim outside. At that point, things turned physical. After some exchanging of punches, Rosario allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim without him realizing right away. The attack was so swift that the victim was unaware he had been wounded until later.
Following the assault, Rosario reportedly stated, “I got him.” Meanwhile, a bystander alerted police after noticing blood on their hands from an interaction with the victim.
The victim was promptly taken to a hospital. While his condition remains unclear, initial reports suggested he survived the injuries.
As officers continued their investigation, the bar owner remarked that it was unacceptable for anyone to be stabbed. She later identified Rosario as the assailant, referring to him with the nickname “Joc Hip Hop” and describing him as “hotheaded.”
Eventually, authorities secured a warrant for Rosario’s arrest. He was taken into custody on charges of second-degree murder and is being held in the Orange County Jail without bail.
