Edmond Clark, 36, from Florida stabbed another man 40 times in an attempt to behead him
This is the sickening moment when a Florida man stabbed a man he knew 40 times with scissors to allegedly try to behead him.
Edmund Clarke, 36, entered The Trading Post at Burnt Store Marina, a family restaurant and shop in Punta Gorda, with the son of an elderly man for whom he acted as a caretaker.
Clarke and the victim had entered the store together and were ordering food.
The couple was seen picking out drinks and putting them on the counter.
Suddenly, Clarke grabs a pair of scissors from a nearby cup before lunging at the victim.
The entire bloody attack was all caught on surveillance video while at least two other people in the store witnessed the “brutal attack.”
The victim was stabbed more than 40 times in the head, neck and torso. Deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office say Clarke was able to hack into the man in an attempt to behead him.

Clarke took the scissors from a cup that was on the counter in the store
When the scissors proved not to be sharp enough, he reportedly grabbed other knives he found in the store’s kitchen.
It took several minutes for the police to arrive at the scene to deal with Clarke – all the while the horrific attack continued.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious head, neck and torso injuries.
Clarke had served as a caretaker for the victim’s father for about ten years.
The pair had met before the incident took place after the victim picked up Clarke from the hospital afterwards suffer from abdominal pain.
After leaving the hospital, Clarke told the victim he was hungry, so the couple stopped by The Trading Post store and ordered food when the unprovoked attack suddenly started.
