WESLEY CHAPEL - Pasco sheriff's deputies Thursday were on the lookout for a man they believed stabbed a 28-year-old man Wednesday night on Dayflower Boulevard.

The attacker is described as approximately 5 feet 7, 170 pounds, with black curly hair, a beard and light brown skin. He appeared to be in his 20s and was last seen in a dark-colored shirt, camouflage pants and flip flops.

According to deputies, the man approached James Harriman, 28, and asked for a screwdriver so he could steal a motorcycle. Harriman said he didn't have one and walked away. The man came back and asked for a cigarette, deputies say. The two men began arguing. The attacker stabbed Harriman in the left side of his stomach. Deputies ask anyone with information on the crime to call 1-800-706-2488.
