The chilling incident happened just after 12:45pm on Tuesday, August 8, at a vacant building on Mercel Avenue. A 26-year-old man had gone to the site for work when he was suddenly confronted by a knife-wielding assailant.
The attacker slashed at the worker multiple times, tearing his clothes, before fleeing through a field behind the property. Miraculously, the victim escaped without physical injuries.
