In addition to the attempted murder charge, Berry faces several charges from an unrelated case, including false imprisonment, aggravated assault on a firefighter, officer or EMT, battery, and grand theft, records show. <\/p>\n
Detectives with the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office said they were called to the area of Southwest Second Avenue and Southwest 13th Street in Dania Beach around 5:45 p.m. on Aug. 30 after reports of a stabbing and an attempted armed robbery.<\/p>\n
When deputies arrived, they found the victim suffering from a severe cut to his left arm that was bleeding heavily. <\/p>\n
Deputies said they applied a tourniquet to slow the hemorrhage before Dania Beach Fire Rescue transported the victim to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, where he was placed in intensive care.<\/p>\n
Investigators said surveillance video showed Berry meeting the victim in the middle of the intersection after getting off a bicycle. <\/p>\n
Moments later, Berry appeared to swing an \u201cunknown object\u201d at the victim, who jumped back to avoid being stabbed, according to the report. <\/p>\n
The report stated that Berry then chased the man, tackled him and tried multiple times to stab him, ultimately striking his left arm and causing the injury, deputies said.<\/p>\n
Deputies said Berry fled the scene heading north on Southwest 13th Street.<\/p>\n
The victim later told detectives that earlier that day, he and another member of the home he called \u201cDudu\u201d had an argument. <\/p>\n
After leaving the home, he said Berry \u2014 also known by the nickname \u201cMemphis\u201d \u2014 approached him on a Mongoose bicycle and threatened him, according to the report. <\/p>\n
Berry then told the victim, \u201cIf you go by 7-Eleven, I am going to kill you with a gun,\u201d the report stated. <\/p>\n
The victim said he replied, \u201cYes, sir,\u201d before Berry became angry and stabbed him, according to investigators. <\/p>\n
Detectives said Berry did not demand money or property during the attack, only made threats to kill the victim. The victim later identified Berry as the suspect.<\/p>\n
A motive for the stabbing remains unclear at this time. <\/p>\n
As of Friday morning, Berry remained held without bond at the Broward Main Jail.<\/p>\n
