Officers responded at about 2 a.m. Thursday to the home in the 700 block of Lee Street to investigate a report of an attack, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. Fresh blood was found on the front porch of the home. The homeowner reported that a person had been punched and stabbed. The man was found on a sofa on the back porch, with abrasions on his face and a bandana wrapped around his leg with blood soaking through it.
Venard Vicsean Norris, 37, of Orlando, was found at the scene and identified by witnesses as the attacker. He was ordered to put his hands behind his back, but would not cooperate with police.
