ORLANDO -- The hunt is on for a man accused of stabbing his roommate.

It happened around 3 p.m. Wednesday at Dardanelle Drive and Silver Star Road.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said the two roommates got into an argument that led to a stabbing.

The victim didn't think the stabbing was that bad and went to sleep. He apparently woke up and realized he was bleeding profusely.

Authorities were called to the home, thinking the accused stabber was still inside.

He had apparently fled before deputies arrived.

The victim is expected to be OK.
