“One had like a 10-inch knife and a five- or six-inch knife you kind of see it in the video but not real clear. They were stabbing at each other like this. And I was the one on the phone it’s 911 saying send police this is out of control,” Kathy Thomas, an eyewitness to the strange scene, told Local 10 News.
Residents told the outlet they thought a road rage incident sparked the fight. Police reportedly arrested both men, but it is unclear if either of them will face charges. No one appeared to be injured from the spat, the outlet reported.
“With a crime rate of 35 per one thousand residents, Miami has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes — from the smallest towns to the very largest cities … Within Florida, more than 88% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Miami,” a crime report by Neighborhood Scout stated.
Miami also had one of the highest violent crime rates in the United States, according to Neighborhood Scout. Back in March, local police reportedly shot a machete-wielding man who was allegedly holding a woman hostage.
