In Orlando, a 17 year old was arrested by police after he allegedly stabbed a local librarian.  It is reported that the librarian had interrupted the boy while he was trying to rob the facility, which was closed for Independence Day weekend.

According to police, the boy fled into nearby woods and stayed there until he could no longer bear the bugs.  After he emerged from the woods, a store employee called 911 and police found the boy at a local restaurant.

Officers say that the librarian had stopped at the facility while it was closed to empty the book drop.  The boy then stabbed her in the throat, face and chest with a dull knife.  Thankfully, she survived despite her wounds.

The boy is now facing charges for attempted first-degree murder, occupied burglary, grand theft and possession of burglary tools.  He will be turning 18 next month.
