MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. – A shocking incident on the Suncoast sends a mother to the hospital.
According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, a 16 year old stabbed his own mother in the back of the head after she told him to finish his lunch because she was bringing him with her to work.
It happened at a home on 55th Drive East in Bradenton on Friday afternoon.
Per the sheriff's office media release, “She turned to walk toward the front door and felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She immediately realized that she was bleeding and turned around to see her son standing behind her and holding a knife.”
The 16 year old ran away and has not yet been found. Authorities have not released details about the teenager.
The mother, meanwhile, was taken to the hospital but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
