Surveillance video obtained by News Center 7 shows a struggle inside a black Chevrolet pickup truck at 7:08 p.m. and following the apparent attack a man exits from the driver’s side door and walks down Xenia. The black pickup truck, which belongs to the stabbing victim, then drives off.

Jason Butts said he spoke with Lloyd “Bear” Walters, the stabbing victim, early Tuesday from the hospital, where he is recovering from multiple stab wounds to the face and body.

A Dayton police incident report regarding the stabbing on Xenia Street lists Lloyd Walters, 60, as the complainant.

Butts and Lloyd Walters are neighbors.
