A Florida man was stabbed five times during sex, while hooking up with a man in a cemetery.

The incident took place on June 24, when the unnamed victim met up with 18-year-old Devante L. Johnson to have sex in his car in a Tallahassee cemetery.

The pair began engaged in sexual activity when, the victim claims, Johnson started stabbing him repeatedly because he “mentioned [his] ex-boyfriend”.

The victim kicked Johnson out the car and locked the doors, before driving off while Johnson attempted to get back in through a window.

He escaped his alleged attacker by crashing the car through the cemetery fence, before flagging down nearby police officers.

He was left with three stab wounds in his chest as well as two wounds on his arms, and required surgery for a punctured lung and a lacerated liver.

According to WTXL, Johnson has been arrested and faces a charge of attempted murder for the stabbing.
