A Florida man who was acting erratically was stabbed to death after attacking the owner of a sushi restaurant.

Dustin Hedenberg, 41, was "behaving erratically" when he entered Aha Sushi on May 23 around 6 p.m., according to police. Hedenberg then "engaged in a heated" confrontation with the restaurant's owner, 51 -year-old Fayun Zhang.

Police said that Hedenberg knocked Zhang to the ground and began repeatedly punching him. As he continued his assault, Zhang was able to grab a screwdriver and then stabbed Hedenberg.

Hedenberg was taken to a hospital, where he died of his wounds. Police have not charged Zhang in the incident.

Before entering the restaurant, Hedenberg had a confrontation at a nearby Scientology Center. Moments before attacking Zhang, Hedenberg punched a person at the center, police said.
