According to Detective M. Bellahna of the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division, a 63-year-old man reported being attacked back on Dec. 9 while walking along Bettis Drive. The suspect, armed with a knife, approached him from behind and reportedly stabbed him in the face before walking away.
