The incident occurred Sunday morning at the Taco Bell located at 785 E. Ninth St., when the suspect, identified as Earl Rudolph Moss, allegedly attacked a customer following a verbal altercation.
According to Hialeah police, Moss entered the restaurant around 10:30 a.m. and began speaking loudly and harassing employees.
A customer asked Moss to lower his voice, prompting him to retrieve two knives from a bag he had left on a table.

At that point, Moss stopped the attack and fled into the men's restroom.
Police arrived shortly after and found the victim bleeding heavily.
He was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Moss was apprehended at the scene and is now facing charges of attempted first-degree murder.
