An 18-year-old man allegedly stabbed his 17-year-old former girlfriend Madison Schmitz and her mother, Jacki Roge in an attempted murder in the United States.

The attack happened at a restaurant near Jacksonville, Florida, around 4:30 pm on Saturday, according to New York Post.

The teenager, Spencer Pearson, after repeatedly stabbing Madison, a high school softball star, and her mother, made an attempt to commit suicide by cutting his own throat.

Reports said Pearson invaded the restaurant where Madison, Jacki, and a friend were having lunch in the evening that day, as he stood nearby, causing immediate fear among the trio.

It was allegedly reported that Madison had broken up with Pearson, for previously threatening her with violence, and her mum was trying to get a restraining order taken out against him.

Seeing Pearson caused panic among the trio, and they swiftly paid their bill and headed towards their car to distance themselves from him.

Before they could reach their vehicle, Pearson intercepted them and allegedly launched a wide knife attack, repeatedly stabbing both Madison and her mother.

New York Post said the chaotic occurrence only ended when Kennedy Armstrong, a brave bystander, heard the screams and rushed to intervene.

Pearson then turned his aggression towards Armstrong, allegedly stabbing him in the arm and severing multiple tendons.

He consequently inflicted a self-inflicted stab wound to his throat in a suicide attempt.

All four were taken to the hospital, but the two ex-lovers are in critical condition according to the reports on Tuesday.

Authorities from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office are prepared to charge Pearson with attempted murder if he survives his self-inflicted injuries.

A court in India has denied bail to a 44-year-old Nigerian national, Cristian Soporuchukwu, who is currently facing drug trafficking charges in the country.

Cristian Soporuchukwu initially entered India on a business visa but was later arrested over allegations of involvement in the sale of hard drugs.

Reports indicated that after arriving in India, Soporuchukwu travelled through Goa, Delhi, and Mumbai, where he allegedly established links with suspected drug traffickers.

He was accused of purchasing MDMA crystals and distributing them to college students and information technology workers.

According to reports, operatives of the Beguru Police arrested Cristian Soporuchukwu in April 2025 for allegedly selling MDMA crystals around Begur Lake and the AECS Layout Road area.

The New Indian Express reported that the High Court of Karnataka subsequently dismissed the Nigerian’s bail application.

“The anti-narcotics wing seized about 1 kg of MDMA crystals, a pocket weighing machine, 10 zip-lock covers, a mobile phone and a scooter from him,” the report stated.

Justice V. Srishananda, while ruling on the bail application, reportedly held that errors relating to the grounds of arrest could not automatically justify bail in serious narcotics-related offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, NDPS, Act.

The court further noted that Cristian Soporuchukwu had allegedly overstayed his visa in India, according to the report.

The United States Treasury has announced sanctions against Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority.

Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement extended the threat of sanctions to anyone paying the fees, saying they may be providing support to and receiving services from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, and therefore may be exposed to sanctions risk.

“The Iranian military’s latest attempt to extort global maritime trade is proof that Economic Fury has left the regime desperate for cash.

“Treasury has deprived the Iranian regime of revenue for their weapons programs, terrorist proxies, and nuclear ambitions,” Bessent said.

Bessent added that the US has succeeded in disrupting tens of billions of dollars’ worth of revenue from being accessible to Tehran.

The United States has launched new airstrikes in southern Iran.

The strike shot down four one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz and then a ground control site.

A US official revealed that American forces struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.

The official described the strikes as purely defensive, saying the US intended to maintain the ceasefire.

Report says this is the second time in three days that the US has carried out self-defense strikes against Iranian military targets in southern Iran.

Recall that on Monday the US carried out airstrikes against Iranian missile locations and boats that US Central Command said were preparing to launch mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
