RUSKIN, Fla. — A Ruskin man has been arrested after deputies say he attacked, stabbed and robbed a man near a local food pantry.
Deputies responded around 8 a.m. Tuesday to a 911 call near Calvary Angel's Attic food pantry in Ruskin, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO).
When deputies arrived, they found a man who had been stabbed.
The victim told investigators he was struck multiple times with an unknown object during the attack.
According to the sheriff's office, the suspect stole the man's jewelry, cellphone and wallet before running from the area.
