A 65-year-old grandfather cut his 14-year-old grandson with a pocket knife and then cut his own wrists in a suicide attempt before being taken into custody, according to Pasco County deputies.



Officials said the suspect, who has not yet been identified, was visiting family in New Port Richey from Jamaica.



The incident reportedly began with the grandfather arguing with his grandson and threatening to break his neck. The suspect then took out the pocket knife and threatened to stab his 33-year-old daughter before cutting his grandson on the ear and arm.



Finally, investigators said the suspect cut his wrists in a suicide attempt before law enforcement arrived. He was taken into custody without further incident and transported to Trinity Medical Center.



The suspect is expected to recover.



No further information on this case has been released. The investigation continues.
