Homeless Florida Man With No Arms Stabs Tourist In Broad Daylight Miami-Dade Corrections

A homeless Florida man with no arms reportedly stabbed a tourist in broad daylight. According to the Miami New Times, Jonathan Crenshaw is known in the South Beach area for painting canvases with his feet, but one tourist felt his wrath and ended up in the hospital.

  1. Crenshaw stabbed the man with scissors. The attack happened early in the morning when Crenshaw reportedly grabbed a pair of scissors with his feet and stabbed the man, who’s from Chicago but was on vacation.
  2. Crenshaw claims the man punched him. In order to justify his attack, Crenshaw told police that the man had punched him and that he had stabbed the tourist in retaliation. However, according to the victim and other eyewitnesses, he had only asked Crenshaw for directions before he was attacked.
  3. Crenshaw was arrested and charged. He was taken to Miami Dade County jail and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
  4. Unsurprisingly, this isn’t Crenshaw’s first arrest. He has a lengthy rap sheet dating back to 2008, with arrests for everything from trespassing and disorderly intoxication to several charges of battering police.
