A Florida man was arrested after he allegedly pulled a machete on a woman who rejected his advances last week.

Leonard Thomas, 55, reportedly asked the woman to date him when she refused shortly before 7pm Friday night.

Her refusal angered the Clearwater man and prompted him to pull the machete from his belt.

He then allegedly raised the weapon toward the victim and said: 'I'll cut you up.'

According to Clearwater police, the victim ran away and called 911.

When police arrived to the scene, Thomas started to yell obscenities at the officers.

Police said Thomas was 'heavily intoxicated' at the time of the incident.

According to online records, he has been charged with aggravated assault. He's being held at the Pinellas County Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Past records show that Thomas is no stranger to the law. Just last year he was arrested for disorderly conduct.
