Florida man John Gula, 83, stabs Miami senior living landlord Amelia Sola Ortiz during argument: police

Disturbing video captured an 83-year-old Florida man stab a worker outside his senior living apartment during a bloody argument over a failed inspection.

John Gula was charged with second-degree attempted murder after he allegedly pulled out a knife and attacked Amelia Sola Ortiz, the property manager of Rebecca Towers, in Miami Beach on Aug. 4, according to an arrest affidavit viewed by The Post.

Police discovered Ortiz, unresponsive on the floor, bleeding profusely from her head and chest, before catching the octogenarian suspect hiding inside his girlfriend’s apartment.

Ortiz was stabbed in the torso and suffered a laceration to the back of her head during the assault, the document alleged.

The landlord had gone up to the 10th floor of the high-rise to confront Gula about a recently failed inspection and the “state of his apartment” when she spotted the elderly man entering an elevator.

Gula was captured on surveillance cameras speaking with Ortiz and his girlfriend, Rosinda Arellana, in a hallway before the landlord disappeared from view into a room, according to video obtained by NBC 6 South Florida.

The crazed resident dropped the items in his hands and pulled out a foldable pocket knife before lunging off camera and allegedly stabbing Ortiz.

The two scuffled back in the hallway as Ortiz successfully disarmed her alleged attacker, throwing the weapon down the hall, moments before she began bleeding profusely from her chest and head.

Gula produced a second collapsible knife and attempted to lunge at Ortiz again, but was held back by Arellana.

The wounded landlord attempted to escape, but Gula held onto her tightly as Arellana pulled her boyfriend away from Ortiz.

Ortiz hobbled away from the scene, holding her chest as blood poured out of the wound and she cried for help.

“Help me, help me,” one witness recalled Ortiz saying, according to police.

Ortiz found safety inside another apartment in the 13-story building, where she collapsed on the floor, according to police.

First responders rushed her to Ryder Trauma Hospital to be treated for her injuries.

Gula took the elevator down to the seventh floor and slipped into Arellana’s apartment.

Police used CCTV footage in the building to track Gula to the apartment and found him leaving a bathroom with blood-stained shoes.

He was slapped with one count of attempted murder with a deadly weapon.

Gula invoked the Fifth Amendment and hasn’t spoken to investigators since his arrest, according to the affidavit.

He is being held at Metrowest Detention Center in Doral, Florida, without bail.

The next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 20

“This appears to be an isolated incident between the property manager, who’s the victim, and a resident, who’s the offender, over a property dispute,” said Miami Beach Police spokesperson Christopher Bess told WSVN.

“It escalated, and unfortunately, the property manager was stabbed,” Bess added.
