ROCKLEDGE, Fla. – An unidentified man was severely stabbed on Thanksgiving morning during a suspected domestic dispute on Carolina Avenue, Rockledge police said.

The victim was airlifted to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, Rockledge Police Officer Steven Tagye said.

Carolina Avenue is a residential cul-de-sac just northwest of the intersection of Fiske Boulevard and Pluckebaum Drive.

That's where Jonathan Cannon, a neighbor across the street, was playing NBA 2K about 10:45 a.m. when he was alerted by his excited children, ages 11, 8 and 4.

"They're like, 'Dad, there's a dude lying in the driveway. And he's naked and he's bleeding,'" Cannon recalled, standing on his front porch Thursday afternoon while Rockledge police manned the nearby crime scene.

"So I'm like, 'Stop playing.' So I get up and look out here, and he was sitting right there, sitting up like Indian-style," Cannon said, pointing toward the end of his driveway.

"And he was like yelling at the top of his lungs, 'Help! Somebody come help me! Please!'" he said.

Cannon called 911. He said the victim suffered severe injuries to his torso and hands, and the victim told him that a man "cut me up with a katana."

Rockledge Deputy Police Chief Donna Seyferth did not have information available on the victim's medical condition.

The victim's wife fled in a blue sport-utility vehicle to the Cocoa Police Department after the incident, Seyferth said. Investigators were talking to her Thursday afternoon, and they cordoned off her vehicle with yellow police tape.
