A Lexington man says someone stabbed him in the face right outside his home Saturday morning, and he wants others to be on the lookout.
“I think how close I come to death, you know, just how close I came to death,” the man, who asked to not be identified, told LEX18.
He says it was just before 5:30 Saturday morning when he got home from his neighbor’s apartment along Kentucky Avenue. Shortly after returning, he thought that neighbor was knocking on his door, but he was wrong.

“Soft knock on the door, sounded exactly like her knock. I opened it, the guy grabbed me by the shirt, pulls me out and starts stabbing me in the face,” he said.
He says the two fought briefly in the breezeway before the suspect ran off. Armed with a knife, the suspect was described by the victim as dressed in all black and also wearing gloves and a mask.
“The opening of the mask was very small, and I could just see blue eyes,” he said.
With about 80 stitches and multiple bruises, the victim says he wants others to be cautious and aware of their surroundings at all times.
“Have some kind of protection on you, and be read to protect at all times,” he said.
Lexington police confirm a similar report was filed Saturday morning from a nearby address. If you have any information, call give police a call.
