A Florida mother and son are charged with attempted murder after police allege they attacked a man with an “unknown tool” and a baseball bat.
Miami-Dade Police say the incident happened shortly after 11 p.m. on April 8 in the Leisure City area, according to WPLG.
Ronald George Senf III, 26, initially engaged in a verbal argument with the unidentified man outside L&M Smoke Shop, but eventually walked away, according to officials.
Senf, however, returned with a baseball bat and his mother, police said.

Police say Delgado admitted to her involvement in the stabbing, adding that she told investigators Senf initially ran home after the argument to let her know about what happened before the two went back to confront the victim.
