A Hickory man walking through a southeast neighborhood early Thursday morning was slashed with a box cutter during an attempted robbery, police said.
Byron Jeffrey Bost, 20, was walking on Ninth Avenue about 12:15 a.m. Thursday when a man driving a red, two-door car pulled up next to him, according to a Hickory Police Department report.
Bost told police that the man climbed out of the car and asked, "Do you have anything for me?" Bost told authorities that he did not know the man.
He said the man then sliced his left arm and side. Bost was taken to Frye Regional Medical Center, where each slash was sealed with 30 staples, police said.
