Authorities in Florida arrested and charged a woman and her boyfriend after they allegedly attacked a man with a hatchet. Per PEOPLE, authorities said the October 30 incident happened at the beach, and the victim had gone there thinking the female suspect was going to tie him up and have sex with him.
The suspects, identified as 24-year-old Wayne Streeter and Alana Cagle, 18, have since been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. An arrest affidavit stated that a “frantic man with no shirt on” stopped a Volusia County Sheriff’s deputy at 8:34 p.m. on October 30.
Authorities said the man had sustained several cuts on his body, adding that he claimed Streeter and Cagle had attacked him at the beach. The victim informed the deputy that he and Cagle had gone to the beach after she told him that she was going to “tie him up on the beach and have sex with him.”

The victim said Cagle drove him to the beach. But after arriving, he said Cagle’s behavior changed as she began giving him “odd vibes” because she was not sitting close to him, the affidavit stated. He said that Cagle started to use a yellow rope to tie his legs. But he still felt “odd” and told her no and that they were not going to do this.
He said he later saw a man approaching him and Cagle before the two suspects ultimately attacked him. Authorities identified the male suspect as Streeter, and Cagle is said to have repeatedly struck the victim with “what appeared to be a hatchet.”
The injured victim managed to run away from his attackers before he was later taken to the hospital to receive medical attention. The affidavit stated that Streeter told the deputy Cagle was his girlfriend, and they had come to the beach together, PEOPLE reported.
Streeter also said he threw punches at the victim because “he observed (the victim) push Cagle down but did not know how she was pushed.” The couple was ultimately arrested that night before they were released the following day after they posted separate $5,000 bonds.
