Naked man chops off another man’s hand with machete then tells police, “Is he dead? I wanted to kill him”

A naked Florida man chopped off another man’s hand with a machete, then told cops that his intention was to kill the man.

Police in Miami Gardens discovered the victim around 4 a.m. Monday, June 3, with a severed hand and profusely bleeding from his head following a 911 call, according to a police report obtained by WPLG. 

A blood-covered machete was found nearby. 

Witnesses told police they saw Rhyant sprinting from the grisly scene completely naked around the time of the attack. 

Cops found 54-year-old Tyrone Arthur Rhyant lounging on a sofa not far away after the victim described his attacker, according to the report.

Police didn’t release a motive, but said that Rhyant’s estranged wife — who has a restraining order against him — lives close by.

“Is he dead? I tried to kill him,” Rhyant, of Opa-Locka, allegedly confessed to police as he was being taken into custody, according to the TV station.

 The victim was taken to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital for treatment.

Rhyant is charged with attempted murder causing injury and domestic violence/violation of an injunction. 

He is being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
