Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputies are on a manhunt in a wooded area of west Tamiami — searching for a man who attacked a woman with a machete Wednesday evening.

Around 5:30 p.m., deputies rushed to the area of Southwest 137th Avenue and Eighth Street to reports of a fight between a man and woman that got out of hand, the sheriff’s office said.

The unidentified man pulled out a machete and hit the woman with the weapon’s backside, not stabbing nor cutting her. He subsequently fled into the woods.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition with minor injuries.

Deputies deployed K-9 units as they continued their search for the man.

This is a developing story.
