JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, a man of about 60 years old died after being stabbed “multiple times” at a McDonald’s on Old St. Augustine Road on Thursday afternoon.

Sgt. Blinn, with the sheriff’s office, said officers were called to the scene at about 3:30 p.m. He said the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, which had also been called to the scene, had taken the man to a hospital where he died of his injuries.

A suspect, described as a man between the ages of 30 and 40, was taken into custody. Blinn said he was found nearby after fleeing on foot.

“We think the victim and the suspect know each other. They were in the restaurant and at one point there was an altercation, and the suspect stabbed the victim several times, ”said Blinn. “The individuals were patrons of the restaurant and are not employees.”

Blinn said he believed the two men were “ acquaintances or friends, ” but their exact relationship was unclear. Their identities have not been disclosed.
