  • A man in Lehigh Acres, Florida, is recovering from injuries after his former gardener attacked him with a weed wacker. 
  • The homeowner had been using another gardener for two months. The ex-landscaper showed up one day and mowed the lawn anyway. 
  • When the jilted gardener returned to collect money for services rendered, the homeowner said he didn't have the cash, but would pay him the next day. 
  • The landscaper became angry and went back to his truck. 
  • The homeowner went to a neighbor's house, and the gardener started chasing him with a gas-powered weed wacker. 
  • Eventually, the dangerous lawn machine would reach the man's face and cause superficial wounds. 
  • The gardener fled before authorities could arrive.
