MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A woman who was involved in a fight near a South Beach smoke shop was kicked and body-slammed by a patron at a nearby restaurant in two separate confrontations that sparked about a block away from Miami Beach Police headquarters.
The fights took place days after an employee at the smoke shop said his life was threatened after he confronted a man allegedly dealing drugs outside the business.
Surveillance video captured the rough-and-tumble encounter involving the woman along 11th Street, between Washington and Collins avenues, Wednesday morning.
People who run and work at the restaurant said that patrons were sitting at one of their tables when they witnessed the fight across from the street near the smoke shop called Vapor Plus.
The people who run the restaurant said when the woman saw she was being recorded, she became angry, walked over to the tables and initially became physical with one of the patrons, a man with a much bigger build.
That’s when the woman and the man became involved in a fight of their own. The man kicked and body-slammed the woman to the ground, then punched her and walked off before the police arrived.
Restaurant employees said nobody was arrested.
