A Florida man is in police custody after he attacked and severely injured his 10-year-old daughter and her teenage sister with a machete in South Florida, police said
Dennis Reid, 47, cut the girls with a machete at a home in Lauderhill after arriving there earlier in the morning to care for them, Lauderhill police Lt. Mike Santiago told CNN.Police were called to the home around 10 a.m. when a frantic 911 caller said"there was an individual chopping up females," Santiago said separately to reporters at a news conference.
CNN's attempts to determine if Reid had an attorney weren't immediately successful.Police are trying to determine what led to the attack.Reid arrived at the home around 7 a.m. to take care of the children, with the mother intending to leave for a trip later that day, Santiago said. Court records show Reid lives at a different address -- in Lauderdale Lakes, just north of Lauderhill. At some point, Reid and the mother argued, and the woman went upstairs, the police lieutenant told CNN.
