The Winter Garden Police Department is currently investigating the origin of a Hudson Tire & Service employee's stab wound.

According to WGPD Captain Scott Allen, the "employee showed up to work with a stab wound" the morning of Monday, Feb. 27.

Cameron Highnote, 20, was identified as the victim by his mom, Christy Morgan, who mentioned on a Facebook post the robber just took the $5 Highnote had on him.

"The person took his ($5) turned around, then turned back around said 'I'm sorry' and stabbed him anyways," Morgan wrote on a Facebook post.

At Orlando Regional Medical, Highnote's CT scan showed that the weapon barely missed his heart, lungs and main artery.

"He is in a lot of pain, but stable," Morgan wrote on a Facebook direct message.

WGPD is still working to find the location of the incident and any information pertaining to the suspect.
