A Florida man was arrested Monday inside an IHOP restaurant in Orlando after police say he stabbed a rideshare driver.
Jovaughn Nathan Matthie allegedly stabbed the driver after the individual “refused to provide a ride without a request through the rideshare app,” according to the Orlando Police Department.
Police have not released the driver’s condition. Matthie has been charged with attempted murder.
After the stabbing, Matthie fled to a nearby IHOP in northeastern Orlando, police said.

Body camera footage released by the department showed multiple officers surrounding Matthie as he sat and drank a hot beverage.
The restaurant appeared to have been cleared out, as there were no other customers around, according to the footage.
Officers repeatedly told Matthie to get on the ground, lie on his stomach and place his hands behind his back.

When Matthie was slow to put his hands behind his back, an officer holding a police dog warned that he would be “dog bit” if he did not comply.
After he was handcuffed, two officers got him to his feet before noticing he had a “long” object in his pocket, according to the video.

Another officer carefully reached inside Matthie’s sweatpants and found an item he identified as a knife wrapped in white cloth.
The Orlando Police Department has not released additional details, saying it is withholding certain information to “protect the integrity of the investigation.”
