A Florida man who was tied up on a beach awaiting a romp in the sand ended up in hospital after a bloody attack.
The victim – described as a “frantic man with no shirt screaming” – allegedly jumped onto a beach in Ormond-by-the-Sea on Wednesday and was struck by an axe, according to the arrest affidavit.
Alana Cagle, 18, lured the victim to the area around 8:30 p.m. so “she could tie him up on the beach and have sex with him,” but the situation took a vicious turn.
