PUTNAM COUNTY, FL -- Police are looking for a man who is accused of attacking another man with a machete.

According to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, the attack happened shortly after midnight Saturday south of Crescent City.

Deputies went to Kings Court after hearing about a fight with injuries, and found a victim with a 6-inch gash in the side of his head. He was taken to the hospital.

The investigation led deputies to believe Reynaldo Escobar, 37, hit the victim with a machete and left the area.

Escobar is currently wanted by the Putnam County Sheriff's Office for attempted murder.

If you know anything that could help find Escobar, call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-TIPS (8477). You will remain anonymous and could receive a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.
