PEMBROKE PINES, FLA. (WSVN) - A crook broke into a South Florida restaurant, but police said his crime didn’t end there.
Pembroke Pines Police said that they have caught the culprit of an early morning burglary and stabbing.
A man broke into a Sergio’s Cuban Kitchen and Bar in Pembroke Pines around 1:30 a.m., Tuesday.
Surveillance video is said to have played a key role in the investigation. The manager of the restaurant said the only thing the crook took was a knife.
“Tried to break the door. That didn’t work, so he went to the back, broke the window with a construction part or something like that. He got into the restaurant, and he got a chef’s knife and went out, just took a knife, and that’s it. He didn’t touch anything else,” said Sergio’s manager Abel Machin.
Police said that the video was captured just before the man randomly stabbed another man at a nearby Shell gas station in the area of 142nd Street and Pines Boulevard.
A call for help went out at around 1:45 a.m.
“I’ve been stabbed in the back, rescue’s around,” said the victim to a 911 dispatcher.
Police eventually caught up with the suspect and arrested 26-year-old Alex Feldbauer.
“Several hours later, during a separate incident, officers were able to locate and apprehend the suspect responsible to the stabbing and burglary to a nearby restaurant,” said Pembroke Pines Police Capt. Adam Feiner.
Feldbauer has been charged with one felony count of commercial burglary.
As the investigation continues. more charges are likely to be added.
Police said the victim of the stabbing had injuries that were not life-threatening.
