A man has been arrested after deputies in Volusia County say he attacked someone at a gas station.
According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to an area near the Volusia County Fairgrounds shortly before 10 a.m. Monday.
A surveyor reported a naked man approached him while carrying a machete.
"The victim said the suspect was picking palmetto berries in the woods, but eventually came running out of the brush brandishing the machete and demanding his clothes, wallet and phone," a release states.
The surveyor said the suspect hurled the machete and palmetto berries at him. Luckily, he was hit by the handle of the machete and wasn't badly injured.
A responding deputy said the circumstances reminded him of a similar incident involving Brandon Wright in 2021. Wright’s vehicle passed a license plate reader in the DeLand area, and soon after that it was reported that a naked man was outside a gas station in DeLand.
