A Chicago-area man allegedly slashed another man repeatedly with a machete during an argument over an apartment complex parking spot, police said.

Rashad Crosby, 25, of Calumet City, is charged with attempted first-degree murder for his actions during the confrontation, the Lansing Police Department said. 

Officers initially responded to the incident around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday amid reports of a hit-and-run accident. Once at the scene, they found a 61-year-old man with multiple “deep lacerations” to his body, authorities said. 

The victim said he was involved in an argument with a man in reference to the suspect not being allowed to park in an apartment complex parking lot.
