A man's generosity led to him being punched and nearly stabbed in the Florida Keys over the weekend, deputies said.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, on Sunday afternoon, authorities responded to the fenceline mile marker 4.5 on Stock Island after receiving reports of a disturbance among several people who regularly congregate in the area.
An arrest report states that the victim told deputies that Patrick Michael DeGrand, 42, of Key West, "attacked him for no reason."
The man told deputies that he was "new in town" and had grilled food earlier and "offered some of the BBQ food to DeGrand, who became aggressive with him and told him, 'I don't take handouts,'" Deputy Nicholas Galbo wrote.
"He said he was trying to be nice and then for no reason DeGrand punched him in the left side of the face and jaw area for no reason," Galbo wrote.
