A Florida sex offender<\/a> is behind bars after allegedly slashing a teenager’s neck while he walked along the Daytona Beach Boardwalk with his parents on Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

After spending the day at the Daytona International Speedway, Sullivan Clarke, 13, was talking on the phone while walking back to his hotel with his parents.<\/p>\n

His mother, Lori, saw a man approach Sullivan and quickly slice his neck.<\/p>\n

“I thought he was stealing Sully’s phone,” Lori told affiliate FOX 35 Orlando<\/a>. “As soon as he slashed him, I yelled and I said \u2018Hey!\u2019”<\/p>\n

Sullivan\u2019s father, Jerod, said as soon as they realized what happened, they could see their son’s neck “gashed wide open.”<\/p>\n

Doctors told the family if the cut had been one millimeter deeper, the attack would have been fatal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The crazy thing is, I turned at the perfect time because I was on the phone and I happened to be looking up at the slingshot [ride] and I turned,” Sullivan said. “That\u2019s how he got the side of my neck and not right [in the center].”<\/p>\n

The suspect, identified as Jermaine Lynn Long, 44, of Daytona Beach, was later found hiding near an overpass on the pier.<\/p>\n

Long was arrested and is charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to Volusia County Jail records. He was granted a $50,000 surety bond.<\/p>\n

Jail records show Long was released from jail just four<\/a> days before the attack and had pending charges from an incident in January for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and touching or striking another person.<\/p>\n

He also has a lengthy criminal history, with prior arrests including:<\/p>\n

A local worker, Andrew Walker, told FOX 35 he was “blown away” because he had spoken with Long minutes before the attack.<\/p>\n

“I see the man come down in cuffs, and I was like blown away because that was the same dude I saw walking past me, that just stabbed somebody in the neck,” Walker said.<\/p>\n

Long has refused to talk to investigators and police have not yet determined a motive, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
