A Miami street artist was arrested on Tuesday after a tourist was stabbed.
According to Reuters, 46 year old Jonathan was charged with aggravated battery, a second degree felony, after he allegedly stabbed a 22 year old visitor with scissors, which he held with his feet. Jonathan is known around the city for painting with his feet.
Jonathan told officials that the visitor, Cesar, approached him and punched him while he was lying down, and that he reacted in self defense.
A female friend of Cesar, who is from Chicago, gave a different account. She said Cesar had approached Jonathan to ask for directions and was attacked, after which Jonathan ran off.
Cesar was taken to a local hospital for a cut on his arm. The charge against Jonathan is an allegation and has not been proven in court.
